After the triumphant 5-0 win against Genoa, Inter are getting ready to welcome Barcelona at San Siro in the Champions League. Manager Luciano Spalletti sees this match as a great test for his players:”We can play against anyone and perform same way. The team is doing well and this is truly the chance to see if we can play evenly against anyone: when we talk about Barcelona, we are talking about the highest caliber of opponents in this game. They have a team mentality, Messi is the cherry on top: all the kids ask for his jersey when they dream of being a footballer: he’s the best”
Spalletti was asked about Radja Nainggolan who could start:”He’s a complete player, he needs to be evaluated carefully because he’s had injuries, he can also be a defensive midfielder, that is where he started. When we moved him further up at Roma there was a lot of criticism from the media, but then all the criticism disappeared
