Leading into yesterday's win over Chievo Verona, Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti admitted they were in "crisis".

The Nerazzurri had won just one of their previous seven, but pushed the Flying Donkeys aside 3-1 to consolidate fourth place.

Moratti said: "There are a thousand reasons behind this crisis. In some games we were damaged by outside forces, while in others we made mistakes that chopped us down."
