ROME, Feb 22 (Reuters) - England manager Fabio Capello has warned Liverpool not to think they have sewn up qualification for the Champions League quarter-finals after beating Inter Milan 2-0 at home on Tuesday.
"Liverpool must be very careful at the San Siro," he said in an interview in Friday's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport. The English Premier League side face the Italians in the return leg on March 11.
"Inter are really strong at home. Even at Anfield they defended with order after (defender Marco) Materazzi's sending off, conceding only a couple of chances.
"They can reverse the result, although it shouldn't be forgotten that Liverpool haven't reached two finals in three years by chance."
Capello also said his former club AC Milan still had a lot of work to do to ensure qualification on March 4 after Wednesday's goalless draw with Arsenal in London.
"Milan must be just as careful as Liverpool," he said. "Arsenal are capable of important feats, they find spaces and they strike at speed.
"But Milan did not slip up at the Emirates Stadium even under maximum pressure. It is the Milan team of the Champions League."
