Liverpool midfielder Fabinho warns against underestimating Inter Milan

Liverpool midfielder Fabinho is warning his teammates not to underestimate Inter Milan.

The Italian champions have it all to do in the Champions League round of 16 second leg, as they are 2-0 down after their home leg.

Despite playing at Anfield in the second leg with an advantage, Fabinho knows only a top performance will see them go through.

He told the club website: "Inter Milan are a really good team. I said before, for me, in the last two or three years they are the best Italian side.

"I don't know if they are first in Serie A this season but they are playing really good football. The first leg, the first half of the game they played better than us, they had a good chance to score with a ball against the bar. But we were more ruthless in front of the goal, we scored two goals.

"A big team have to win games like this as well, when you don't have too many chances to score you have to score the chances you have. That's what we did in the first game and tomorrow, we will play at a full Anfield so the fans will be behind us.

"We have to try to give everything, being the highest level of intensity, of concentration, to not give confidence to them. We have to do what we do usually here at Anfield: play our best football and try to [finish] this game as quick as possible, if we can."
