Inter Are Aiming To Win At Barcelona - Diego Milito
The 30-year-old does not want to sit back and soak up pressure at the Camp Nou. He doesn't think he has yet replaced Ibrahimovic in the hearts of the fans either...
"We arrived here in Barcelona at a good time and we hope to win and qualify," the former Genoa star explained to the press, according to inter.it.
"The victory in Kiev gave us the peace of mind and spirit to tackle the match tomorrow evening. If we win, in addition to qualification, it will give us a huge morale boost."
The teams met earlier in the season at the San Siro, playing out a tame 0-0 draw.
"How have things changed since the first leg in Milan? I think our team played a great match at the [Stadio Giuseppe] Meazza, especially in the first-half," mused the Argentina international.
"We must remember that we played against the world champions [sic] and we managed to make it difficult."
Meanwhile, the player's impressive scoring rate has seen him become a fan favourite very quickly, with nine goals in 13 matches in all competitions for the club.
"I have replaced [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic in the hearts of the fans? I'm happy, it is not easy to replace a player like him, who has won so much - I have yet to do so," he said.
Milito is expected to be in the starting XI on Tuesday evening.
