Inter defender Javier Zanetti cannot take the smile off his face as his side overcame Chelsea 1-0 in the Champions League, to progress to the quarter-finals of the tournament.
His joy was on display post-match as the Argentine led a group of players in chanting chi non salta e` Rossonero [who isn't jumping supports the red and black] near the travelling supporters.
"I believe that Inter's win this evening was an important sign for all," the stopper stated to Inter.it. "We played a great match with lots of determination, going up against a team such as Chelsea.
"We were here in London to win. Beating a big team twice like Chelsea is not easy, but we applied ourselves and did it.
'El Tractor' also credited coach Jose Mourinho for the victory, saying that he was their inspiration to do well.
"He is the one who helps us win. It is his support that gets us through. He had the experience, and the knowledge of what to do. I hope that this can take us all the way to the final of the competition," he concluded.
