Inter Milan coach Claudio Ranieri insists they can play their way out of the current crisis.

The Nerazzurri are in crisis with five defeats from their last six official outings, so much of their season now rests on the result in the Round of 16.

"This is an unusual season, as things went badly, then very well, now badly again, but the Champions League resumes and I'm sure we'll do well," said the Coach in his press conference.

"I am pleased to face Didier Deschamps again, as he is someone I respect very much. I hear he said we are the favourites in this tie, which makes sense, as Inter won everything two years ago. However, we're going through a difficult period while Marseille are in good shape, so we have to turn the tide."
