AC Milan defender Gianluca Zambrotta has warned Inter ahead of their Champions League clash with Barcelona that neutralising Lionel Messi will prove to be an extremely difficult task.
The 22-year-old bagged four goals in the 4-1 second-leg win over Arsenal this past Tuesday as the Spaniards look to repeat as continental champions.
"I played with Barcelona and know that Inter will have to give the maximum in the two games to advance, but I believe the Blaugrana are the favourites," he suggested to Sky Sport.
"Messi? He is monstrous, almost impossible to stop."
Meanwhile, the Rossoneri are hoping to catch city-rivals Inter in Serie A. They have fallen three points adrift of the leaders.
"We believe [in the Scudetto]. There are still 18 points available. The road is long, but we want to get all the points against our opponents," finished the full-back.
