| Zanetti has 'head held high' |

Inter captain Javier Zanetti believes his team “leave the Champions League with our heads held high” at Old Trafford.
The Nerazzurri hit the frame of the goal twice in their 2-0 defeat to Manchester United and had many other scoring opportunities.
“We do have a few regrets, but we leave the competition with our heads held high,” said Zanetti.
“I must say that I am proud of my teammates, because we showed a great deal of character in a difficult arena.
“In the first half especially Inter took the initiative and dominated the match, but unfortunately the ball did not want to go in.”
Inter exit the Champions League in the second round for the third year running and must now focus on the Scudetto.
“We are leading Serie A, there are 11 games to go and we must do everything we can to win it. The Coach knows he can trust us.”
It remains to be seen how this elimination will affect Jose Mourinho's future, as he was brought in to improve upon Roberto Mancini's poor European record.
