Barcelona hitman Zlatan Ibrahimovic is currently suffering from an injury and could miss the club's key games against Inter and Real Madrid.
However, he told FIFA.com that, regardless of his own participation, he is confident of success against his former club when the sides meet on Tuesday.
"Inter are a very good team and this is a vital match in which we have no margin for error. If we win then we’ll take charge of the group. So far we’ve had a lot of bad luck in our Champions League games. It’s a very big game for me and I’m in an optimistic mood, I believe that it will turn out the way I want."
Ibrahimovic also believes that the Blaugrana will come out on top in el Clasico when Real Madrid visit the Camp Nou at the weekend, although he played down the idea that Pep Guardiola's side could replicate last year's 6-2 victory.
"I don’t know if it’ll be so one-sided, I don’t even think about how many goals we’ll score. But Barcelona have a very attacking mentality and I’m sure that we’ll win and score plenty of goals. It’s a very important game. Not just for us, but for the club, the supporters, even for the neutrals and the world at large. Nobody is indifferent to this match. We’re playing at home and I’m sure we’re going to win."
Despite their recent wobble in the league and their substandard performance in the Champions League group, the Swede declared that Barcelona could emulate last year's team and win the treble again. In addition, he maintained that victory in next month's Club World Cup is one of the team's goals for the season.
"I want to win everything, whichever club I play for. That said, repeating the treble will be a tall order. That would need the team to play at its very peak for two seasons in a row and I think that’s very difficult. On the other hand, we’re very strong mentally and we’ve got last year’s experience under our belts, so why not?
"The Club World Cup is something that so many players want to win, while remaining a competition in which relatively few take part. Barcelona have that opportunity now and we’re really fired up for it. Particularly because it’s a trophy we haven't won yet. It’s one of the main objectives for the club, players and fans this season."
