Valencia have a good chance of going through to the quarter finals after a 2-2 draw at Inter Milan. The Italians had won no less than 16 games in a row, and they started strongly, with Ibrahimovic heading against the post early on. And with half an hour on the clock they took the lead following a Figo free kick, Cambiasso heading in from what was possibly an offside position after Cañizares pushed out Ibrahimovic's shot. Later in the first half Crespo could have added to the scoreline when he headed wide, and David Villa shot off target at the other end.

Villa levelled the scores though with a well struck free kick after the restart which left Julio César no chance. Maicon restored the lead for the hosts a few minutes later, picking up a return pass from substitute Julio Cruz to shoot low past Cañizares. But Figo had to clear off the line from Ayala with ten minutes to go, and a few minutes later Córdoba could only clear Villa's corner as far as Silva, who fired a first time volley into the back of the net. A second vital away goal, and a low scoring draw in two weeks' time will see Valencia through.
