Spalletti: Barcelona will not let us down and play for us

Inter Milan's hopes of reaching the 16-year-old Champions League are suspended and coach Luciano Spalletti is confident that the Catalan giants will not let his team down.

Tottenham Hotspur won 1-0 at Inter on Wednesday, which means that they will qualify at the expense of their Italian rivals if they win their last Group B match in Barcelona.

Spalletti, who will host his team PSV Eindhoven in the group's last game on December 11, said Barca would do everything possible.

"The Barcelona players have a lot of professionalism and I never doubt how they will handle the next match."

"I have never seen stars such as Gerard Becky, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez play lightly or be saddened by home defeat."

Spalletti said his decision to replace midfielder Radia Naingolan before the break had come because of an ankle injury.

"I have good relations with Radya and there was no disagreement between us at the time of change," he said.

"He had an aching ankle and had a hard time running, so I decided to replace him before the break and he pbaded all the tests before the match."
