Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho saw his team come back from being a goal behind to win 2-1, despite having Sulley Muntari sent off, but feels his team should have won much more easily.
"In the first half, when both teams had 11 men on the pitch, we played very well," the ex-Chelsea coach said after the game.
"We went behind, but the team reacted well and scored a good goal. Catania played their game, although the right result would have been 3-1, 4-1 or 5-1 to us.
"These are three important points for us, especially as Maicon had a great game despite only returning from Brazil yesterday and I didn’t think Patrick Vieira could handle more than an hour."
Muntari was upset with the way that Catania's Giacomo Tedesco went down, which was the cause of his red card, and he slammed the Italian for play-acting. He said: "The referee saw that I lifted my arm and he’s right in that I should not do that, but I was just protecting the ball,"
"Having said that, not even a child would’ve fallen in such a dramatic fashion. He went to ground as if struck by Mohammed Ali!"
Mourinho will take Inter to Greece this midweek to play Panathiniakos in his first Champions League group match, as he tries to take Inter further than he went with Chelsea.
