Inter Barca was probably the match of the first round. And a grudge match too. Barca tried to play their usual fluid passing game but kudos to inter who defended in typical italian fashion, especially lucio and samuel. Good result against the best team in the world, can't wait for the return leg

[Ashraf-FTP]

i hate this loooong wait.. the next game is on 16th february.. such a long wait

[Tiger Manc]

Robben's goal was amazing! Bayern look a decent team this season. They've got 2 great wingers in Robben and Ribery.

[Ashraf-FTP]

Perfect. I will look for the highlights of the other games too

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUARTER-FINAL DRAW:

Lyon v Bordeaux

Bayern Munich vMAN UTD

ARSENAL v Barcelona

Inter Milan v CSKA Moscow

SEMI-FINAL DRAW:

Inter/CSKA Moscow v Arsenal/Barcelona

Bayern/Man United v Lyon/Bordeaux

[Ashraf-FTP]

Perfect draw

Lets go Arsenal, kick Barcas a$$

Bayern have killed themselves in the recent years. They cant stand United power

My guesses for Semi's-
Inter-Barcelona (hopefully Arsenal but Barca has more chance)
United-Bordeaux

Should be fun

[Tiger Manc]

We've got a great draw. I think Bayern will be tougher then either of the french team. Arsenal v barca should be tasty, and so will the winner v inter milan.

[Tiger Manc]

It's incredible that there's more clubs from France then, Germany, Italy or Spain in the Quarter-finals.

the second one got completely wrong.......

its now lyon vs bayern munich

[Nocturnal]

Semi Final First Round One (in milan):
Inter 3 - 1 Barca
The Special One show indeed!

[ialbd]

yes, that was special.... and being a Barca fan... I have to admit Inter was the better team.

but have to mention the referee as well... not for inter's 3rd offside goal or for the penalty kick when alves was fouled in the D box (cuz these are part of the game) but I have noticed the referee disturbing Barca's rhythm very often.... and if Barca cant get in their rhythm they are out of the game...

but nonetheless.... it was certainly Barca's fault for still not settling with their game, and Mourinho showed what the rest of europe couldnt... well done Inter....

[al-Sagar]

lyon 0 - bayern munich 3 (hattrick by olic)

bayern in semis

2nd semifinal today

barca vs inter at nou camp

barca trail 1-3 from 1st leg

[Nocturnal]

end of 1st half:
barca 0 - 0 inter
Inter playing with 10 man after Thiago Motta got red card in around 25 min!
stupid act for sure .... pushing the barca player's face with hand but straight RED is just too harsh for that...Ref. just killed the game right there! Now it's more like a way one way traffic all together.....21 player in one half of the ground!
Still I believe, Inter will go through!
Go Special One! Go Inter!

[Nocturnal]

YES!! Inter is in Final after 38 yrs!!
Special One!!
May 27th - Madrid - Inter vs Bayern!!

[Nocturnal]

^^ edit: final is on 22nd of May not 27th!

[ialbd]

yes... Inter did their job better than Barca and are the deserved finalist. Inter should win it all, although Inter's defense crack when they open attack... so they should not underestimate Bayern.

Busquets keeps disgracing Barca.... and that guy needs to be kicked out of the club (although to correct Noc bhai above, I think Motta got a 2nd yellow for that which resulted in the red... but busquets was a diver nonetheless). Barca needs to focus on la-liga now... need to win atleast sth this time....
