Moratti quietly confident

Inter chief believes his side can go and score at Old Trafford

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti is quietly confident his side can progress into the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

The Nerazzurri chief's comments came despite watching his side draw 0-0 at home against last 16 opponents Manchester United on Tuesday.

The holders dominated proceedings at the San Siro especially in the opening 45 minutes and came away disappointed that they had not secured an away goal.

But with the scores still level Jose Mourinho's side just need a score draw to progress and Moratti believes his side can get that all-important away goal at Old Trafford.

"I'm quietly confident. I think in the Champions League it's really important not conceding goals in the home games," he said.

"So it's really important being able to score away. We saw the team's strength in the second-half, there has been a real change in their attitude."

The president was also full of praise for young defender Davide Santon, who has recently just turned 18.

The youngster found himself up against World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo on what was his Champions League debut and did his growing reputation no harm at all.
