Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes says his side will do everything they can to overturn the 3-1 deficit in the Champions League against Inter next week, but that the comments of Jose Mourinho are not acting as a source of motivation.
Several Blaugrana players heavily criticized referee Olegario Benquerenca following the first-leg clash at San Siro, prompting 'The Special One' to claim the Spaniards don't know how to lose.
"We have no desire to focus on Mourinho. What interests us is only the final," said Valdes, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.
"We aren't trying to close anyone's mouth. It will not be easy to qualify, but we believe that we can create another magical European night at the Camp Nou."
The two sides meet up for the second-leg on Wednesday, April 28.
