Inter Milan president Moratti quietly confident of victory at Man Utd

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti is confident of Champions League progress after their 0-0 draw with Manchester United.

"I would say that I am confident enough," the oil tycoon told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I think that in the Champions League it is just as crucial to avoid letting in an away goal as it is to score one.

"I imagine that the English were disappointed that they didn't score. We are happy about that because now we are going there for a game that is a Final.

"Everyone was very fired up for this game and you can't blame them for that.

"But there was respect for the opponents and fear of failure that led to the hesitancy in the first half.

"In the second half the team's strength was visible and there was a real change of attitude that can be attributed to the fact that Jose Mourinho understands the English mentality.

"After the break the players were able to adapt to any situation that arose."
