Mancini ready for Liverpool

Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini has insisted that falling out of the Champions League to Liverpool on Tuesday would not mean a 'disastrous season' for Inter as they are still battling away for league superiority.

"I don't think that a whole season can rest on one single game," he said.

"It will be a difficult evening, but we do have a chance of doing it. Whatever the result, our season will continue and it does not end on Tuesday.

"Each game has its own story and so we will have to see how this one goes.

"It is not going to be easy because we had to play there for 60 minutes with 10 men and this put us in danger.

"They were lucky in the first half in that we had one man less, but then they are a strong team and I don't think it is any coincidence that they become an even bigger team for the big matches."
