Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was left delighted with his team’s performance against Inter Milan, but warned that the job was only half completed ahead of the second leg at the San Siro.
Inter had defender Marco Materazzi sent off after just half an hour and defended resolutely until two late strikes from Kuyt and Gerrard sealed a 2-0 win.
“It was a big night and a big win, but it means nothing if we don’t finish the job in the second leg, but I’m confident we’ll do it.”
The sending off of Materazzi was central in the game, but Gerrard felt the referee had little choice. “I’m not surprised no. They were two bookable offences so he deserved to go” Gerrard said.
“The win is for Rafa, the fans, for everybody connected with the club. It’s a big win for everyone.”
Striker Dirk Kuyt believed that the Red’s patience was the key to victory.
“We kept patient and it is a big win for us. But we still have a second game to go” the Dutchman added.
