It's not the DEFINING reason for Barca's loss last night, Inter played well and took their opportunity,
but only a fool would suggest it didn't have some impact on the game.
Imagine if Inter had suffered the same fate - you wouldn't be able to shut Mourinho up about it.
He'd be calling press conferences and blaming Iceland for
deliberately attempting to sabotage his team's preparations.
In no way was the lead up to this game balanced for both teams, and a slice of luck for Inter, to go alongside the offside goal.
I'm not even a Barca supporter, but I'm going to do the moaning for them.
At this rate Inter and Bayern wil surely make the final - both sides have had some outrageous fortune in the knock out stages so far. It looks destined
You never fail to make a fool out of yourself Bernd!
You're very selective with the incidents you talk about.
Sure, the volcano might have been a small help to Inter. But then let's not forget that earlier in the competition CSKA cancelled their game which allowed them to have more rest than Inter for their 2nd leg.
Milito's offside goal, let's not forget he was called offside when clean through after 5 minutes. Plus there was the Eto'o - Keita incident which looked a very soft freekick.
