Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has insisted his side can beat Inter in the UEFA Champions League, even without the services of Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Both fowards are a doubt for the crucial group F clash but Guardiola feels that whatever eleven he chooses will be good enough to win and the absence of his top scorers will not be used as an excuse if they don't win.
"We will not complain if they [Messi & Ibrahimovic] do not play. If we do not win, it will not be because of that," he told a press conference.
"They are two very important players, but here we have always done everything together. If they don't play we still have eleven [players] and will have chances to win. If not, others will play to win, nothing changes, we need the fans to encourage us. The people have never failed us, we have always had their support."
Guardiola also stated that his side will play their normal attacking style against the Italians as it's they only way they know how.
""We're going out to win, to attack, there is no other way to play here," he declared.
