Mourinho says one nil loss the sweetest his life

Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho says the one-nil loss to Barcelona in football's Champions League semi final, is the sweetest defeat of his life.

Despite losing the second leg match, their 3-1 first leg win, means they advance to final against Bayern Munich, 3-2 on aggregate.

Inter played more than an hour of the match with only ten men after defender Thiago Motta was sent off.

It'll be Inter's first European Cup final since 1972.

At the final whistle Mourinho sprinted not towards his players but across to where the Inter fans were in the top tiers of the San Siro stands, waving his arms.

He ended up having a tussle with Barca goalkeeper Victor Valdes, with security guards parting the pair.
