Jose Mourinho has not hidden the fact that he feels his new Inter Milan side have what it takes to win the Champions League, after a massive improvement in the mentality and character of the players from the previous season. With the immense step up in quality of the team, the outspoken manager feels not even mighty Barcelona have an edge over his Italian outfit.

"I understand that in the football world they say (Barcelona) are favorites, that does not offend me, but I say that this tie is 50 percent," Mourinho insisted on Spanish paper Marca. "The strongest team is the one that wins the Champions League. They won the last year, but now we have to see if they will still be champions this year.
