RANIERI GETS EMOTIONAL

Inter Milan manager Claudio Ranieri has said that he will feel like crying if Inter Milan do not progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League after their 1-0 lead over Marseille from the first leg.

Inter Milan managed to win the first leg encounter between the two clubs 1-0 with a last gasp goal, which many regard to be the crucial one in this tie.

Due to the fact that it is an away goal, Inter Milan are the favourites to qualify for the quarter-finals, while Claudio Ranieri is also nervous because if Inter Milan fail to qualify, then he would feel like crying.
Even though Inter Milan have a significant advantage from the first leg, they have been in extremely poor run of form leading up to this match. The 2-0 win over Chievo during the weekend was their first win in more than 10 matches. They also were unable to score a goal for many matches during this period. As a result, Marseille do have a chance to upset the European champions of a few seasons ago. Meanwhile, Marseille are themselves not in a good run of form right now, as they have suffered four straight defeats.
"Emotion is the most beautiful thing. I do this job to feel emotions, both positive and negative, but to tell the truth the positive ones are better. I hope that on Tuesday against Marseille the San Siro will be full and the fans will be urging us on. It won't be an easy game, but we'll try. We have a chance. Let's try to see what we can manage to do with our fans behind us," Inter Milan manager Claudio Ranieri said ahead of the match with the French club. Inter Milan will be without defender Chivu, who is suspended.
