Despite their loss in Milan, Hibs can take plenty of heart from the first leg.
Coach Joelle Murray was full of praise for the side after their defeat, saying the players “never let their head down, not once within the 90 minutes”.
A similar level of effort, discipline and commitment will be needed if they are to come close to overhauling the deficit at Easter Road.
Hunter says they “definitely have the belief” to do that.
The key to it, though? “Being ready from the first minute.”
Hibs were two goals down after 10 minutes in Italy, which “killed the game”, but a strike from Eilidh Adams to reduce the deficit has lifted hopes in Leith.
“We have to be ready from minute one,” Hunter said.
“I think the two early goals probably killed the game too early for us. So we have to be ready to come out flying.
“I think the majority of the time we were hard to beat, but it’s just those little concentration collapses and they can score.
“They’re a massive team and they’ve got so much quality and they will punish you at that level.”
The reigning SWPL champions picked themselves up with a comfortable 5-0 trouncing of Montrose and Hunter is urging her team-mates to use their experience of defying the odds when securing an unlikely title last term.
“I’ve seen a few interviews, the pressure’s off, they’re expected to win, they’re favourites,” she said.
“It’s a bit like last year. We weren’t favourites to do anything at the top of the table and we went and done it.
“Football is a strange game. Stranger things have happened. It’s a hard task but one we’re relishing.”
