with jose you just have a look at his home record in the league at Porto, Chelsea and Inter. Around 130 games unbeaten on the trot
He won it for inter more or less in the 1st leg as for tonight when it gets to this stage of the CL I would rather play negative football and go to the final than play beautiful football and get knocked out! jose takes all the Credit for getting them through while Guardiola made poor choices at key times

I know I will be sorry I asked, but what were the poor choices Guardiola made at "key times" ?

A dodgy handball decision is difference between genius
and loser so??
Throw in Bojans woeful miss and it's more that Barca
blew it..

The next time someone spins out some bull about the specialness of Barcelona, I'll remind them of the crass way they switched on sprinklers at the final whistle. Sore losers

Better Choice of Subs... wasn't Henry on the bench the whole game? he needed to change tactics also! a odd high ball into the box may have upset the Inter defence..... most of there play was through the middle they should have used the wings more with inter only having 10 for 60mins

He got lucky last Year when iniesta cracked in that winner v Chelsea & lighting wasn't going to strike twice (i don't think Guardiola learned from last year)

Based on his form this season, Henry being pitted against Maicon would probably just have made it even more frustrating to watch. Being patient is one thing, but with no goal threat from Inter, Pique should have been up front a lot earlier.

Should have used the wings? Almost every attack went through Alves on the right. Henry? Have you seen him play lately ?

Ross4life  Obviously you haven't seen
too much of Henry this season. He is finished
at this level and his total lack of interest
when brought on on emirates pissed off alot
of Barca fans. He is gone in the summer.
Might have got lucky with Iniesta last year but they
were unlucky that same man missed these 2 games..

The old masters of anti football, Arsenal, could at least get the offside line spot on, time and time again.
Inter's anti-football has some room for improvement.

A lot of barca's attacks were through crosses. No high balls were having any impact. Ibrahamovic was, as usual in a big european game, useless.

Guardiola could have moved Pique up front earlier but there was just no way through in most cases...

Ive seen Barca play as much as anyone! Henry may not be the player he once was but he could still do something special! & minder Alves crossing is awful! Barca were more worried about playing pretty But i do agree Iniesta could have made the difference again

Teaming up with 'he's not a SOLdier' again? Delighted for the special one, adds a bit of craic to an otherwise dull exercise. I love it KK style if he pitched up at Eastlands next season.
Don't Panic

Unusual to see so many big decisions going against a team over both legs.

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

i think we have talked enough about the Bayern v United tie  ;)

I wonder how the Boys at Real Madrid feel now? they sold Sneijder & Robben now they have to watch them play in the Champions league in there home pitch.. it's like united having to watch Real Madrid v Man City in Old Trafford  :D

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