- Viktoria Plzen's Jhon Mosquera has disclosed his side is keen on securing an unlikely victory against Inter Milan on Wednesday, October 26
- Despite not being in a position to progress to the next phase of the Champions League, Viktoria could determine who qualifies alongside Bayern Munich from Group C

Viktoria Plzen attacker Jhon Mosquera has disclosed his side are determined to pull a surprise win against Inter Milan at the San Siro.
The Czech Republic minnows are without a win in their four Champions League outings and face yet another tough test against the Nerazzurri, who are in the second position.
Despite suffering relegation with two games to spare, Viktoria find themselves in a kingmaking position, deciding the fate of both Barcelona and Inter.
A fifth successive loss will ensure Inter a Champions League last 16 ticket, while an unlikely victory in Milan could resuscitate Barcelona's slim chance of leapfrogging the Serie A side to reach the knockout stages.
