Italy World Cup winner Marco Tardelli backs Inter Milan to trouble 'arrogant' Liverpool in the Champions League, and claims that some of the Reds' tackles against Tottenham would have seen them receive '10-match bans in Italy'

Italian football icon Marco Tardelli has branded Liverpool 'arrogant' and believes Inter Milan can cause them problems when the two teams face each other in the last 16 of the Champions League, according to reports.

Tardelli, who scored a memorable goal in the final when Italy won the World Cup in 1982, is well aware that Liverpool will enter the clash as favourites, having won all six of their group games to ease into the knockout stages earlier this month.

However, Inter have also hit a run of good form as they have won their last six league matches to open up a four-point lead at the top of Serie A, and Tardelli has backed them to give Jurgen Klopp's side a run for their money.
