"It's an incredible stimulus playing against the European champions," the Argentinean striker told Tuttosport.

"Barcelona are a great team, but we will play them on an equal level."

Inter and Barcelona will lock horns in Group F of Europe's premier competition on September 16th.

The match will witness the return of Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the San Siro after he joined Barca from Inter in the close season.

Samuel Eto'o, who moved in the opposite direction, will also face his former club Barcelona.

The Cameroonian striker is coach Jose Mourinho's preferred choice alongside Milito upfront.

Milito, who moved to Inter from Genoa this summer, scored and dished out an assist as Inter outclassed arch-rivals Milan 4-0 in the Serie A last weekend.
