Inter Milan striker Julio Cruz is convinced they go into their Champions League clash with Liverpool full of confidence.

The Argentina international said: “Against Livorno, I was rested because the coach has chosen to play others. I hope to be in camp on Tuesday evening, but as always it is Roberto Mancini that must decide.

“The team is ready to let everyone know how much we want to succeed in this dual challenge (of the Scudetto and Champions League).

“We know that we cannot fail.”
