Fenerbahçe through tonight if...

Zico's team will be through to the Champions League knockout phase if they beat Inter, regardless of the result of the other Group G Matchday 5 clash between CSKA Moscow and PSV Eindhoven. A draw or even a loss would see the Turks through if PSV don't win in Moscow.
