Antonio Conte warned Inter Milan were angry at their defeat to Barcelona and ready to fight to maintain their Serie A supremacy against his former club Juventus in this weekend's top-of-the-table clash at the San Siro.
Inter, riding high with a perfect run of six wins, play at home to the defending champions, who are two points behind, on Sunday.
"We are hurting," said Conte after falling to a 2-1 Champions League defeat in the Camp Nou despite Lautaro Martinez's second minute goal.
"There is bitterness and anger at the result. All we can do now is lick our wounds and prepare for Sunday's match, but I saw courage and character."
