Inter are 11 points clear at the top of Serie A and on course to retain the title, but the 30-year-old former Arsenal and Juventus midfielder feels the European Cup is also well within their grasp.

"We have the squad to do it," the France international was quoted as saying in Wednesday's Gazzetta dello Sport.

"If nobody gets distracted and we remain focussed on all our objectives, it can be done. It will be tough, but we can do it."

Inter, who won the European Cup in 1964 and 1965, host Valencia in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie next Wednesday before the return match in Spain a fortnight later.

Vieira joined Inter from Juventus last summer after the Turin club were demoted for match-fixing.
