PSV boss Ronald Koeman evidently would be one of the first in the queue to snap up Gerrard given his view of him.

"Gerrard was quality and the finish for the goal was outstanding," he said.

Inter coach Roberto Mancini was gushing with praise for his side having seen them rebound from losing their first two matches to seal their place in the last 16.

"They have been extraordinary -- winning three games on the trot is a great achievement," he said. "It was a difficult match, just as we expected, but we didn't give Sporting many chances."
