Jose Mourinho insists that Inter Milan showed their character in their game against Dynamo Kiev, as the Italian champions beat their hosts 2-1.

Inter fell behind in the first half, with Andriy Shevchenko scoring for Dynamo. However, two last gasp goals from Diego Milito and Wesley Sneijder stole the win for the visiting Nerazzurri.

"This was a victory that we truly deserved, and now we can set our sights on qualifying from our next couple of games," Jose Mourinho declared to Sky Sports after the game.

"I think in the second half, we changed the character and personality of the team. I made some changes, but the team responded well to the message I gave them at the interval.

"They achieved this result by fighting tooth and nail for it, and they all played with their hearts on their sleeves as well. We deserved to win," Mourinho reaffirmed.

Inter are now top of F after four matches, but Mourinho admits that the qualification for the knockout stages is anything but confirmed.

He continued, "The battle of qualification is more open than ever. It's a very balanced group, and it is an incredible situation with just four teams.

"This match for us will be a starting point to improve our performances in the competition.

"I think that we will be able to qualify with just a win now, so I want a packed San Siro stadium for our next game in Europe."
