Inter booked their place in the Champions League last 16 with a 2-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk at San Siro on Wednesday while AC Milan kept alive their hopes of reaching the knockout stage by beating Atletico Madrid 2-0 away.
A double by Edin Dzeko sees Inter lie second in Group D with one game to go on 10 points, two behind leaders Real Madrid and an unassailable four points in front of third-placed Sheriff.
Stefano Pioli's Milan climbed to third in Group B thanks to Junior Messias's late winner in Madrid.
With leaders Liverpool out of sight on 15 points, the battle for the second qualifying spot is between Milan and Atletico, who have four points, and Porto, who have five.
Milan entertain a Liverpool side with nothing to play for in their last game, while Porto and Atletico face off in the other match.
