Internazionale vs Barcelona

TITO wrote:As Puro already pointed out, i see a lot of similarity between this tie and the one with Milan in 2006.
Maybe Inter will win, but we will score, im sure of that. Im talking about the game in Milano, and as long as we score im not so pesimistic that we will outscore them in both legs.
I just hope everybody stays fit and we dont have problems with injuries or bookings.
Bthw...Inter is my favourite club in Italy

Against Chelsea last year we only had one shot, not chance, just a shot in the goal in 90th minute and we scored.
As i said, i dont know how many chances we will have, i just know that we will score (if everybody stays fit as i mentioned it).

Kaka + 50mn for TRWM

From some of his interviews I get the impression that he felt Inter's mental block in Europe and their defensive style, restricted his style of play and possible individual recognition.

Of course there's the incentive of reaching the final in the Bernabeu, but if I'm totally honest: I'd rather go out in the semis than lose the final in the Bernabeu!

Never really thought about that, but its so true, if we make it to the final and lose, it would be too much.

It also depends on injuries. Imagine barca missing Xavi, Messi, Iniesta, Pique at the same time, kinda like how Arsenal were, when they played last night. There could be an upset.

This is strictly hypothetical. But no, I'd say that team is very much likely to be defeated by a Lyon or Bayern. From a 70-30 it falls down to 50-50, a balanced game.

Roberto Baggio: Inter Can Dethrone Barcelona In The Champions League
‘Roby’ expects an enthralling tie between ‘two great teams’...
By Vince Masiello

Former Inter star Roberto Baggio believes the Italian champions have what it takes to knock holders Barcelona out of the Champions League.

The Nerazzurri have made the semi-finals of the competition for the first time in seven years by ousting CSKA Moscow, while the Catalans brushed aside Arsenal 6-3 on aggregate to book a spot in the last four for the third year running.

“It will be a wonderful semi-final,” Baggio told La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.

“Two great teams, full of talent, two very complicated matches.

“If we take into account that Barca are the defending champions and what they have showed this season, even in the matches against Inter, I’d say they are favourites.

“But Inter strike me as the right team to stop Barcelona. They have the men, the style of football and the mentality to trouble [Josep] Guardiola’s men.”

Inter host Barca in the first leg on April 20, with the return leg at the Camp Nou a week later.
