Barcelona welcome Inter in a crucial Champions League clash for both sides next week. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who made the move from Inter to Barca last summer, may not be available for the match due to a muscular problem.

However, the Nerazzurri's midfielder Esteban Cambiasso hopes to see his former team-mate on the pitch at Camp Nou.

"Big matches are contested by great champions," he said to Repubblica.it. "I'd like Zlatan to be there."

On the match against Bologna this weekend, Cambiasso said, "Matches just before and after the Champions League are very dangerous, so we have to concentrate on obtaining three points on Saturday. Then we'll think about the rest.

"If we win we would put Barcelona in trouble? We have to think about our own business, we are not qualified yet and so we have to think about this objective."
