AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani feels Barcelona showed fear in last night's 0-0 draw.

The result gives Milan the edge in the tie.

"It's a good result, especially considering all the injuries we had and that quite a few players weren't in good shape, like Alessandro Nesta, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Robinho," he said after the 0-0 first leg Champions League quarter-final.

"Barcelona started out very tense, as they are afraid of Milan too, I think. We were unlucky in the draw, but Barça could say the same.

"The team battled, showing determination and grit. I particularly appreciated Luca Antonini's performance."
