Sir Alex Ferguson is backing José Mourinho to guide Internazionale to victory in tomorrow's Champions League final against Bayern Munich at the Bernabéu. However, he still has a feeling of regret that Inter find themselves playing Bayern rather than his Manchester United side.

The Germans knocked United out in the quarter-final, but Ferguson believes his team should have won the tie, pointing to the dismissal of Rafael da Silva as part of the problem.

"We should have been in that final," he said. "We murdered Bayern Munich and just didn't have the luck on the night and had a terrible refereeing decision against us in the game that changed the whole course of it. If you look at Bayern in all the games this season, they have carried a bit of luck. Maybe their name's on the cup.

"But, make no mistake – Inter are the better team. Inter are a very, very good team. Mourinho has changed that whole club around. I think they are the best team. They can win it but Bayern are carrying luck and you just worry about that."
