Benitez pleased with performance

While he admitted it was a blow to concede an away goal, Rafael Benitez hailed his team's performance and said the way they played in the first half can give them confidence when they go to Turin.

Benitez said: "I was delighted with our first half performance. We scored two goals, created good chances and we did a lot of the things we have talked about.

"It's difficult to do the same and keep up that tempo all game and while I am disappointed with the goal we conceded we have confidence for the second leg.

"We now have two options for the second leg. We can win or draw and that gives us two possibilities to reach the semi-finals. I think we will score in Italy and we will go into the game with confidence."
