Napoli manager Rafael Benitez has said that it will take a "great performance" from his team to beat Inter Milan in their Coppa Italia quarter-final on Wednesday evening.

The Partenopei will be looking to claim the trophy for the third time in four seasons and they come into the match having won their last three league games.

"We are the champions of the Coppa and, as I said, we want to honour the title and continue on our way," Benitez told reporters.

"In Naples, I immediately knew what was required of me. I was happy from day one and now we are here trying to go yet further, for me, the future can be even more positive.

"We know the value of our opponent. We are aware that it will take a great performance to try to qualify."

Napoli and Inter played out a 2-2 draw when they met in the league last October.
