Platini says new rules will target club debt

"We understand the institutional worries about the economy of European football, but in citing Inter he forgets that our club does not have debts with the banks," a statement said.

"Inter is not among those clubs that, from this point of view, can worry the UEFA president."

Platini welcomed the return of Chelsea striker Didier Drogba following a three-match Champions League ban imposed after last year's semi-final when he confronted the referee and swore to television cameras.

"Drogba's a good guy. I know him very well. He understands now that he made a mistake. Everybody does. He will come back better, stronger," Platini said of the Ivory Coast international who returns for Chelsea against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
