QUOTE Roberto Mancini was verbally attacked by a herd of Inter fans at Liverpool Airport last night, and was almost involved in a physical confrontation, according to reports in Italy.
The Nerazzurri face an uphill task to qualify for the quarter finals of the Champions League after their 2-0 first leg last 16 loss to Liverpool at Anfield.
According to Tuttosport, Mancini was set upon by a group of angry Inter supporters, who hurled abuse at the coach, blaming him for the defeat.
Mancini did not stay quiet, and is said to have reacted angrily by retuning the insults back at the fans.
The situation became so serious that security staff entered the scene and were ready to intervene, fearing that a fully-blown physical confrontation was about to break out between Mancini and the supporters.
Eventually the ex-Lazio boss chose to walk away from the incident.
This is the second report of unrest among the Inter camp, following Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s angry comments about Marco Materazzi, in which he blamed the defender for Inter’s defeat.
Materazzi was harshly sent off after half-an-hour for two yellow cards, forcing the Nerazzurri to play two-thirds of the game with 10 men. Inter are a freaking madhouse. I keep saying it will be a matter of time before they implode

Obviously I wanted Liverpool to win, but I think it's only fair that this is said: Alot of people say Inter have the refs on their side in Serie A, well, in Europe it's a different story. Liverpool won every free-kick possible and even had a man advantage for no reason, neither was a yellow card, I'd argue that one of them wasn't even a foul, but it's clear the refs were against Inter from the start. How is that Mancini's fault?

Oh it was obvious the ref was making amends desperately.
The first wasn't a yellow...but for me the second was. Matrix should have a little more brains, than to do shite like that when he's on a yellow.
Obviously no one's gonna look the other way in CL unlike in Serie A

QUOTE Moratti: We Can Score 15 Goals Against Liverpool(IMG: http://www.rainews24.it/ran24/immagini/moratti_triste.jpg) Inter President Massimo Moratti has sensationally declared that his team are capable of scoring 15 goals against Liverpool in their Champions League last 16 second leg. The Nerazzurri face an uphill task to qualify for the quarter-finals following their 2-0 defeat at Anfield in the first leg on Tuesday night. Despite this scoreline Moratti is supremely confident of turning the tie around. " We have yet to play the second leg, which will be in the more favourable conditions at San Siro,†he said. “If the crowd are as I expect them to be, it will be hard for Liverpool. I have trust. We have 90 minutes and we can score 15 goals if we want to.†Moratti also passed comment on the group of Inter fans who attacked Coach Roberto Mancini, first at Liverpool Airport, and then in Milan. "Those fans are the same people who in the past have sung songs in favour the Coach,†said the oil tycoon. “I hope they will return to this during the game, where everyone must be compact with the team. Being unhappy is normal, but this was only the first time.†Finally Moratti was also at an odds to explain the reported falling-out between Marco Materazzi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic appeared to blame the defender, who was sent-off against Liverpool, for the defeat, and now the pair are said to not be speaking to one another. "I do not know what happened, but I do not think that there is any controversy,†he stated. “These guys are friends, are always together and both attach great importance to overcome the turn.†Luca Capofranco : GOAL.com Damn. I want them out of Europe so much that IF THAT happens I'll open a bottle of champagne.
