The Brazilian keeper fumbled a shot from Arjen Robben to put the Italians on the back foot, however, they bounced back to win 3-2 at the Allianz arena and advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Julio Cesar said to www.inter.it: "It was a very difficult moment. After giving away that goal I wanted to return home to Milan immediately, on foot or by horse, but then I recovered.

"The goal was a cold shower but thanks to my team-mates we recovered. I want to compliment them." Inter secured victory when Goran Pandev scored the winner two minutes from time. "When Pandev scored the winner, I started to cry," Julio Cesar said.

"I thanked God and my team-mates. I would have been devastated had we lost.

"I just hope I stop making any further mistakes."
Inter president Massimo Moratti said of Julio Cesar: "When a goalkeeper makes a mistake like he did, it's just an accident. We cannot ever judge him because he makes extraordinary saves."
