Inter head into Sunday's game at Genoa on the back of a morale-boosting European win, beating Lille 2-1 for their third straight triumph in Group B.

Having endured a wretched spell in Italy to fall 11 points adrift of league leaders Juventus, Ranieri now wants his side to show their European form on the domestic front.

''All the victories are important considering we have had very few this season,'' Inter coach Claudio Ranieri said. ''It's not true that we give more in Europe than we do in the domestic front.

''Things just seem to go our way in the Champions League and I'm sure that soon that will be the case in the league. Whether the win over Lille marks a turning point in our campaign depends only on us.''

Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by Juventus was Inter's fifth loss in nine league games and left Ranieri's side one place above the relegation zone heading into Sunday's game.

AS Roma manager Claudio Ranieri has completely changed the capital city’s side since he took over from Luciano Spalletti helping them climb up in the Italian Serie A table where they are now third, and having managed a draw last Saturday against AC Milan, they are now only seven points from leaders Inter.

Ranieri is however also thinking about next season and speaking of what his plans for the summer may be, the Italian revealed his admiration for Arsenal defender William Gallas. The Frenchman, 32, will be out of contract at the end of the season and Arsene Wenger’s policy is to only offer one-year to over 30 players, as it was the case of legend Dennis Bergkamp in his last years at the club.
