Inter Milan captain Mauro Icardi is looking forward to meeting Champions League opponents Barcelona.

Icardi is a former Barca academy player.

He said, “I am very happy in Milan, very happy at Inter, my family is happy here and I have no need nor desire right now to leave," said the Argentine in his Press conference.

“Playing for Barcelona's academy was a very important time for me and my career, as I learned a great deal here. I started my career here and facing them as a player in the Champions League is undoubtedly special and exciting.

“However, when I had the chance to come to Italy with Sampdoria, I didn't need to think twice. It was the right decision for me and my representatives."
