Munatri: bring on Barcelona!

Inter midfielder Sulley Muntari is not worried about next week's Champions League draw and he is not concerned with which team they will end up.

Muntari agrees with his coach Jose Mourinho that at this point they have to face all the big teams if they want to win this trophy.

"I'm sure that we will do well," declared the Ghanian player. "To win the Champions League you need to face any team, even Barcelona, just like Mourinho said.

"If we had to face the Spanish team then it's not a problem. It's true that they have Eto'o and Messi, but we have people like Ibra, Cordoba and Zanetti."

Muntari then went on to talk about his experience in Italy and Italian football.

"I must say that I grew up in this country," he continued. "I studied Italian football and I'm happy about the moment I'm going through."

This is Muntari's first season at Inter following his move from Portsmouth last summer, where he has already featured in eight games and scored two goals.
