I think Inter has proven that it has the strongest defense in the world,undoubtedly.

Barca goal!~!!!!!
!

Piquet

I bet there's at least six minutes extra time now unless Barca score a second.

hahaa

Very well taken goal.

Would be harsh on Inter if they were to lose this now, Samuel and Lucio have been outstanding.

Bojan scores but not allowed

I thought the ref had allowed that then, blatent handball though. The commentators saying he couldn't get out of the way so it's harsh. So what? He gained a HUGE advantage by handballing it so it's a correct free kick.

Credit to the merda, Jose running onto the pitch with clenched fist

Fairplay to merda, now go on and win it for Italy and keep the fourth spot.

HAHAHA,look at morihnio go!

Laporta is going to look like an idiot now. He's going to have his words thrown back in his face all week by Jose.

I have lost an awful lot of respect for Barca over this, Madrid are even more gracious in defeat!

If that photo is from tonight then that is upfront!

And I agree about the loss of respect for Barfa.

Nah, I believe it's a picture from when he was at Chelsea.

Not upfront then!

GOD BLESS JOSE MOURINHO!!!!!!!! MASTER OF FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!

... but seriously, what are Inter's card stats this season? I think I heard something about 27 yellows and 4 red's or something like that. They are winning it, but it sure ain't a pretty sight.

Chapeau to Inter! They managed to hold down the mighty Barcelona, reducing Messi & co. to a bunch of ghosts walking on field. They will undoubtedly win the final.

TO ALL THE MOURINHO HATERS...........

At least if he wins it this year people wont throw around the 'easy run to the final' excuse.

^^^

Nope the won't. Finally Jose puts his money where his mouth is!

I have to say I wanted Barca to lose for 3 reasons:

1. Their whole behaviour against Inter (throwing stuff at the bus), all the bravado ('Leave our skins on the pitch') etc. were plain sickening and nauseating. It stunk of entitlement and for once Mourinho was right to call it 'obsession'. That shouldn't be what football is about. Esp. not if you're the 'saviours of good football'.

2. Was sick of the media masturbating over them.

3. I think while Bayern would have gotten their @ss handed out to them by Barca, they have a tiny sliver of hope against Inter. I want Munich to win. For Bavaria...for the the Fatherland...for LaP to have another drunk night!!!

f this...go Bayern!!!!!

Crudely..but accurately put!

Might I just add, that I'm very displeased by Busquets actions. I hope he has to live with it for the rest of his career.

And Barca's halo finally turns to lead. Oh God..I'm so filled with righteous indignation, I could bring down the 7 plagues on Catalonia!!

fcking horrible final... ah well go inter....

who cares man!!! canada is celebrating tonight for her team = Montreal canadiens

come celebrate with us!!!

Screw you man! Montreal is French!

If Inter wins the Champions League and the League, God help us on Mourinho's ego

He will join Real Madrid next season , so we dont have to deal with him.

P.S. Inter will win all three cups this season.

I have never seen Barcelona so devoid of ability, inspiration and tactics.

Jose outfoxed Guardiola with ease, with Pep's men reduced to not a lot really.

Their entire team disappointed, and surely proved beyond doubt that Messi really has been over-rated - if he was the ghost of Maradona, he'd have carried his side through to the final - but he did nothing apart from that one shot. Inter handled him and the rest of Barca with ease, and being down to 10 men in the process just shows how good a manager Jose is and how robust their squad is.

I had a feeling I'd be on Inter's side, and it turned out that way.

^^^ legendary stuff! I will never, ever forget his celebrations last night. way more legendary than the one at the Old Trafford

-

Sergio Bosquets, such an average player and such a pathetic ****:






Why? what did he say?

I doubt that. he's got something valuable here. a strong team (which he inherited) with a winning mentality (something they did lack before he came). I think he'll remain for at least one more season.

I had a discussion with my teacher that's a die hard Barca fan,and she said that politics had something to do with it,cause the tactic from Guardiola were weird and the subs were bizzard!What so you think guys?

I think the Barca fans can't believe they got their asses handed out to them. I think they genuinely believed that Messi was the second coming, their first XI was heaven's archangels and Guardiola was Prophet Moses and that NONE could stand in their way. Now it hasn't happened and they're clutching at straws. Suddenly Bojan and Sergio really aren't 'that good'. Suddenly Zlatan is not too great, Henry is. Suddenly Pep makes 'tactical mistakes' and has no Plan B. Pfft....



Yep. I heard his comments where he said that he feels a greater empathy with the Inter fans than he ever did with Chelsea fans, and that he can't believe it. etc.

He'll be here one more season. And I think it'll be easy for him. Juve are getting a new coach and probably a new team. Milan are picking up the pieces. Roma won't pull off two consecutive flukes. Viola have no money. Palermo are half-mad. Etc.

Even if he doesn't win the CL, he just needs to win the scudetto again, and he can leave his contract having won a trophy every single time. Inter doesn't even need to change their team much!

If there was afterlife Herrera would be loving this. I know people will say inert played like this only because they were down to ten men but that's how they had been playing until that moment...

anyway... inert deservedly go through even if Barcelona had that good goal disallowed. and finally I can agree that Jose is a great coach. not because he's a tactical mastermind as people think. that's laughable. any serie a fan has seen what he does many times before. but taking inert to the cl final? inert? that team with the worst loser's mentality I've ever seen... this truly is a great achievement. he brings the best out of every singly one of his players, he's the best on the mental aspect.

they will win the final too though I'll be screaming as hard as I can for bayern.


I disagree with everything you said above but this.


Of course, this one has not been an easy run. maybe his fans will realize what's easy and what's not too.


I did not expect you to not be one-sided. I knew you'd focus on Messi when your own favorite Xavi was just as bad.

They were surely deluded, but not THAT deluded but I get your point.

I think Mou's obsession/dream comment said it best.



Even if they don't win it this year, they'll be a top contender again next year. and that's sad.

I think they went there with only one thing on their minds: catenaccio. they would have launched some counter attacks somewhere in the game if they hadn't been reduced to 10, but it's obvious defending the two goal lead was their first and foremost priority. unlike Barca, they proved to be a multi dimensional team / they did have more than just one plan. they attacked and scored goals in the 1st leg, and defended their win in the 2nd leg. it sucks to say it, but that's a complete team for you.

All Inter lacked to dominate in Europe (as well) was this damn winning mentality thing and thanks to Mourinho, they now have it. it'll be hard to stop them in the future... cause they knocked the mighty Barca and one of the top favorites of the tournament in Chelsea.

*sigh*

By the way... Messi, Xavi, CR, whoever, ... they are not the best, Sneijder is.

Is that a serious comment?

If the criteria for best is: Who makes the max contribution in taking your team to the next level..then yes..it would be a serious comment.

yup contribution is the key word, he's not as big an attacking threat as them but he's great at it and at the same time he's helping the defense a lot. so in that sense he's the most complete player in Europe.

you would hope in doing so berlu gets sick of opening each newspaper in milan and say '' thats it wheres my wallet''

He called him "the translator". Just mocking him really as that was his role at Barca.

I read that interview where he called him a 'second-rate shrink'. I thought the crowd called him translator.

He loves his career not the club.
He want to enter in the football history books like the coach who won the Champions Leauge tittle with 3 different teams and after he wins it with real madrid , he will leave them for Portugal or English nationality team. IMO

I agree about that, I'm just saying he will most probably remain one more season that's all. he's still pretty young for a coach, he'll have plenty of time to break every record there is.

Mourinho as England coach would be fantastic. He's exactly what we need to be honest, the "us vs everybody else" attitude he brings to a team is something I think our players would thrive under.

Seeing how the English media inflates both the Premiership and the English NT, I think England fits Mou like a glove. I honestly don't know why he's in Italia.

But anyways, Inter did well, and showed everybody a lesson on good defending.

Sorry to be pedantic, but it's the Premier League, not Premiership. A pet hate of mine!

Some points:

1: The entire team was poor.
2: My favourite is Iniesta.
3: Messi is supposed to be the greatest who can lift his team when they're not playing well. That's what Maradona used to do. Messi failed to do this.

1. Exactly my point. That team includes Xavi.
2. but that's not the point.
3. The point is you focused on Messi. You take this game as proof that he's not the greatest. Yet the one you consider to be the greatest was also poor. Isn't this as big as indication?

Messi can't do what Maradona did. I doubt it's possible in today's game. But Messi does not even reach the equivalent of what Maradona did, he's certainly not that great in big games.

It is when one looks at point #1...



Who do I consider to be the greatest? I'm unclear on who you're referring to.



Well yes. So you're agreeing with me. What are we talking about here...
