Materazzi confident of Inter win

MARCO MATERAZZI thinks that Internazionale are in the driving seat of the all-Italian Champions League semi-final tie against Milan, after holding the Rossoneri to a 0-0 draw.

Milan were technically the home side in the first leg at Giuseppe Meazza, and go into the second leg knowing that an away goal could be a huge factor in deciding who reaches the final.

However, Materazzi has taken heart from a fine defensive display in the second half, in which Milan dominated but could not find a crucial goal.

"We gave our best and Milan did the same," said the former Everton man.

"In the second half they went looking for a goal, which was to be expected considering that they were the host.

"However, we had two great opportunities and we played at the same level - with some good ball possession.

"Now we have to wait and see what happens next week.

"If we can play at our best then we will qualify for the final."
