Inter’s Joao Miranda held a press conference ahead of tonight’s clash at the Camp Nou in the Champions League and the former Atletico Madrid man was carefully optimistic of the Nerazzurri’s chances.
You are joint top of your group with Barcelona, would winning the match secure qualification?
“The match is important, a team can come out with three points that can mean qualification, but it will not end here.”
What does it mean to play against Barcelona?
“I’m happy, even if Messi is absent there are many champions that can make the difference for them.”
Have you prepared differently considering they are missing Umtiti and Vermealen, an unpredictable defence?
“No, we always prepare the same way for the games, we have the potential to do well and tomorrow we’ll play to the best of our ability.”
Inter are due to face Barcelona in matchday three of the Champions League, and with both teams currently on six points, a win tonight for either side could secure qualification to the knockout stages.
