Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has conceeded that our shock exit from the FA Cup at home to lowly Barnsley, could spur the Reds on when the Serie A leaders come to Anfield tomorrow evening.

“Liverpool are surely a classic team, I don’t know if the loss they suffered in their national cup is a favourable thing for us or if it will increase the difficulties because it stimulates a reaction.” confessed Moratti.

“When Liverpool are in difficult situations they are able to show their best.

“On paper Inter look strong for the final. But then the mentality with which you enter the ground counts.” he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

Meanwhile, new England manager Fabio Capello has warned Inter Milan of complacency when they clash at Anfield.

“Liverpool, when playing in the Champions League, transforms itself.

“At home they have a lot of support and that’s why they must be taken very seriously.” he told Italian radio.
