Ronaldo: We can make quarters


Cristiano Ronaldo has hailed Manchester United's last-16 Champions League display away against Inter Milan on Tuesday.

United claimed a 0-0 draw in the San Siro and, with Ronaldo to the fore, were often in the driving seat against an Inter Milan side that will be looking to make amends in a fortnight's time at Old Trafford.

Whilst Inter's war of words has already started ahead of the clash in Manchester, Ronaldo is confident that the Red Devils have what it takes to qualify for the quarter-finals.

"We played better than Inter in my opinion. We created more chances, especially in the first half. But we didn't score," Ronaldo told reporters after the match in Italy.

"We have the second leg at home. We have a better chance than here.

"I know here is always difficult to play, but we've shown we are a great team and we deserved to win."

Striker Wayne Rooney was not quite as enthusiastic following the draw, but the England international is adamant that United can still progress.

"We really should have taken one of those chances and given ourselves a better chance for the game at Old Trafford," he said.

"It's always a difficult place to come and a draw is still a good result."
