Internazionale captain Javier Zanetti has warned Liverpool his side will fight to the end in their UEFA Champions League clash. Liverpool go into their second-leg tie at the San Siro 2-0 up and are favourites to reach the quarter-finals. Zanetti is confident Inter can overturn the 2-0 deficit and believes Liverpool's tactics could play into their hands. "It will be hard for us but we will not give up until the very last minute because we still believe we can go through," Zanetti told the Mirror. "I think Liverpool will come to Milan trying to defend and then play on the counter-attack.

Positive

"That is a very positive thing for us as it will mean we will have a lot of the ball and it's the best chance for us to beat them. "We suffered a great deal at Anfield but if we can score the first goal then it will give us a big chance of reaching the quarter-finals. "We cannot bear to say goodbye to the Champions League at this stage and that would be very sad for all of us. "Liverpool do not have a superior team to us. The score in the first leg was not a fair reflection of the game. "But each match is different, we will put them under great pressure and make it one of the great European nights in the San Siro."
