Inter striker Samuel Eto’o has warned Chelsea they will go all-out attack at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday to knock Carlo Ancelotti’s men out of the Champions League, so they can then go all the way themselves.
Jose Mourinho’s Serie A leaders bring a 2-1 lead to west London in the quarter-finals of the competition, and Eto’o insists all the pressure will be on the home team.
“Chelsea are the favourites and the pressure is on them,” he told the News of the World.
“Every minute that passes without a goal on Tuesday will add to that pressure. They will feel the tension.

“That doesn’t mean we will be defensive. That would be a grave error.
“We will attack them from the start and if we win this game then I believe we will go on to win the Champions League.”

The former Barcelona man also revealed he had already warned Chelsea striker Didier Drogba that the Blues will need to be at their very best to claim a place in the last eight of the competition.

“I have told Didier Drogba that we will create big problems for Chelsea and that they will have to produce their best performance of the season to beat us,” he added.

“I was annoyed when I saw the draw because I hoped this match would have been the final at the Bernabeu in May, but we don’t fear Chelsea.

“We need to repeat the level we showed in the San Siro over the 90-minutes.”
Following the exits of both Fiorentina and AC Milan, Inter remain the only Italian side left in the competition, but the Cameroon international is confident the Nerazzurri can progress.

“The match is in our hands and if we stick to our usual style we will not be eliminated,” he concluded.

“I think this is a game where there will be goals – and we are determined to prevail.”
