Brilliant defending from Inter, I thought Inter were growing into the match in the early stages, only for the ref to fall for Busquets theatrics. Spoiled the game for me. It could've been more exciting 11v11. Nevertheless, as the saying goes, its not easy playing against 10 men.
Pique's goal was offside,and the ball struck towards Yaya Toure was unfortunate, but the ref was in the position where he clearly saw the ball struck the hand, even if it was unintentional.
Messi apart from a few flashes of brilliance was controlled excellently by his Argentine compatriots, Cambiasso and Zanetti, who impressed me yet again, worked hard throughout the 90minutes despite his age, it would be great for him to add the CL to his illustrious career.
Barca just didn't have a clue on how to break Inter down. All they did was pass the ball around the Inter box, and kept that going over and over. And when they ran out of ideas they just hoofed the ball into the box where it suited Inter with their height and physical advantage. Samuel and Lucio were their usual selves.
Well, Jose once again got his tactics spot on. And what the heck was wrong with Valdes at the end, Jose was heading to celebrate with the Inter supporters, Valdes had no right to stop him, fair play to the ref for telling him to fu<k off.
Inter vs Bayern, Sneijder vs Robben(who both return to the Bernabeu with other clubs strangely enough), Mourinho vs Van Gaal(Former Barca assistant vs Former Barca coach), Lucio vs his old club.
Can't wait.
