Inter coach Jose Mourinho has warned Juventus that his side will be heading to Turin to win as he throws down the gauntlet to his bitter rivals.

Despite the 10-point gap separating the two teams, Mourinho is urging his players to rise to the challenge of beating Juve on their own turf to all but lift the Scudetto.

"We want to win. We will not go there to play for the draw," Mourinho told Sky Sport Italia.

"I want to try and win even if we can go on the pitch for two results. I would prefer to be the Italian champions with a 13-point advantage rather than one.

"We are first because we are stronger than the rest and we deserve to win the title."

Juventus ace Alessandro Del Piero tried to stir up the rivalry when he said his side have nothing to envy about the Nerazzurri. Mourinho has failed to see fit with that notion as he responds to the Italian.

"Del Piero should envy Inter for the 10-point gap we have over his side. He is right to speak about his past. He has done everything at Juve, just a shame he hasn't won the Ballon d'Or."
