Rafael Benitez should live to fight another day as holders Inter Milan secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday with a nervy 1-0 home win over Dutch side FC Twente.

Inter were joined in the next round by a host of clubs, among them 2008 winners Manchester United, for whom England striker Wayne Rooney marked his return to the starting line-up for the first time since October with a late penalty in a 1-0 win at Scottish champions Rangers.
