Milan take hope from missed chances

The six-times European champions took succour from the fact they created several good chances and they aim to take better advantage next Wednesday of the space Barcelona leaves them.

8220;We created more opportunities than our opponents and this gives us confidence for the return leg,8221; said Dutch midfielder Clarence Seedorf.

Brazilian Kaka, outshone at the San Siro by his compatriot Ronaldinho, also saw signs of encouragement in the defeat for last season8217;s beaten finalists. 8220;They took their chance while we created a lot but didn8217;t find the goal. We hope we have more opportunities at the Nou Camp. Barcelona showed they have great players but tonight we also saw their defects. They gave us a lot of space and we could get forward,8221; Kaka said.

8220;We could have used a bit more luck, but that8217;s no excuse,8221; said Gilardino.
