Atletico Madrid midfielder Pablo Barrios is happy for Inter Milan to have the favourites' tag for tomorrow's Champions League clash.

Inter will host the first-leg of the round 16 tie at San Siro stadium.

Barrios told EFE: "It's a great team, we all know it. Last year they had a great run in the Champions League, we'll have to do the good things to get through to the next round.

"Lautaro? He is a great striker, let's hope that our defenders play a great game so that none of them manage to score. People say that they are favourites? Let them continue to do so.

"If they want it, let's leave them the role of favourites.

"The team is doing well. Let's continue like this and hope to win a title at the end of the season."
