Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu says they face Champions League opponents Liverpool tonight full of confidence.

Inter host the Reds in the first-leg of their round of 16 tie.

Calhanoglu said: “We've been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"We're happy to be in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

“Tomorrow we certainly want to win because we have quality players, we have the chance to go through.

“I've already lost in the last 16 against Atletico Madrid on penalties, so I hope to win tomorrow. We want to get through to the next round because these games are so important for us as players.

“They're dynamic in the middle of the park and we know that. We'll take to the pitch tomorrow to show our character. I'm ready because I've been looking ahead to this match. We're up against a very good side, which will allow us to show our personality and how we play on the pitch. We're ready."
