Champions League Semi Finals Barca v Inter/B Munich V Lyon

[ross4life]

Will this now stop the BBC's and sky's love fest with Barca being the best club team ever?  For me they aren't even the best club side in Europe over the last three seasons

Best club team ever sky/media?

Come back when you've won three league titles on the trot and get to two consecutive Champions League finals, and then we'll talk

Don't tempt fate Ross!

Tempt Fate that's what a Certain team has done last three seasons regardless of what happens this...

Who in your opinion is the best club team in Europe over the past 3 seasons?

I think I know the answer you are going to get.

Come on Ross! What sort of a final will it be? Mario Balotelli to silence his critics?

Has all the makings of a scoreless Draw & another penalty shoot out winner maybe with Balotelli to score the deciding one?

[paco]

I hope so, maybe that would silence Mourinho? Doubtful, but I live in hope. One good thing that may come from tonight is that they finally realise that Zlatan can't cut it, and do something about it. Still puzzles me why they didn't take Villa when they had the chance and he would have been so much cheaper and effective, also a proven big-game player.

An astonishing statistic from tonight's match.


A new champions league record was set tonight for mosr possession in a game when Barcelona enjoyed 86.4% possession.


Amazing.


Even more impressive then was Inter's defensive display.

I think it was ITV sport that came up with that possession Stats?  bbc/uefa have it 75% but Inter with 10 men for 60mins they played what we have we hold & those stats are not surprising

Will be interesting to see how Spain cope with those type of tactics in the World cup

[Gabriel_Hurl]

Sky reported the same 86.4% figure

The Times quote that Barca made 555 passes - Inter 67 !!!!!

Also, Mourinho tells the Italian press that Spanish police tried to arrest Eto'o for questioning before the game.
