Following Mario Balotelli's opener, Juventus had to wait until the game's dying moments to salvage a point courtesy of a Zdenek Grygera header.

"We proved why we are top of the table, have a ten-point lead and are the strongest side in Italy. We will have the Scudetto in a few weeks," the Portuguese said.

After the game, Juventus players seemed happy to secure the late home draw, and Mourinho is convinced this only shows that Inter are a tough team to beat.

"Getting a point and seeing a team that is overjoyed with this result, I think that is the greatest show of respect Inter can receive.

Inter are now at the top of the Serie A table with 74 points, while second-placed Juventus have 64.
