"I'd have to say right now that this is better than winning the Champions League," he told Rai tv. "Today it was a match in which I couldn't play, because I would have left my blood.

"Barcelona expected to win. They have had an incredible surprise at the San Siro. Then we understood they had fear.

"When Thiago Motta was sent off, we had to change the scheme again. Obviously to reach the final it was down to who wants it more.

"With Chelsea supporters I had empathy, but I have more of this with Inter's. I respect Italian football, but I'm not in love with it. In the difficult moments of the game I felt our supporters were there.

"I guarantee that next year I'll be here. I always play against Barcelona, and always something happens. It's nothing new for me. I want to see our supporters welcoming us at the airport.

"The refereeing? I don't want to judge. I said before the game that when players help the referee, it can have a positive reaction. When they make things difficult for him then there are problems, and this evening someone tried to complicate his job."
Interesting :S
In the Champions League final.
I think he means he will be playing Barca again next year in the CL, like he has done virtually every campaign he has been in the last couple of years.

Barca are great at times no doubt about it but they aint perfect. Nothing players like Ibra, Biscuits and their back line are preventing them atm

in the summer if they buy and creative cm, top cb, ribery along witha good striker they will be sorted imo
No team and no person is perfect, but that play great football they just came up against a top class team which is equivalent to Stoke but with better players IMO
I got this far and :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Ok, now that I've stopped laughing. Inter play defensively against the best attacking side in the world while holding a two goal lead and their "the equivalent of Stoke."

Inter are the best footballing side in Italy imo. No team in their sane mind, unless you're Arsenal, are going to go out and play Barca at their own game. Inter had essentially done their job in the first leg and the impetus was on Barca to go out and score two, so why not make it difficult for them. That would seem like the common sense option.

Defending like Inter did and keeping concentration levels at such a high level for 90 minutes requires unbelievable effort and a vast amount of training. The end product of such was, quite possibly, the best defensive showing I have seen in recent years. No player dives in, everyone of them bided their time to steal the ball just like Italians would do day in day out. Any sign of danger breaking from midfield and at least 4 Inter players charged in and snuffed it out.

Although the match itself was fairly boring except for the red card and the last 5 minutes but I, for one, enjoyed watching how disciplined the stalwarts of the Inter defence were. Absolute masterclass.

Each to their own I guess I just didn't like their approach so much gamesmanship by the inter players it was awful watching lucio and maicon but I guess they did what they had to do just like his Porto side at least do it with class which they did not!!

Calling Barca lucky is laughable. Two stone wall penalties not given against Inter and a goal ruled out wrongly.

Barcelona were diving just as much and got one of the Inter players sent off!

Didn't think Inter's defensive performance was all that great tbh. It was more just shite attacking from Barcelona which made them look good. Build u pwas too slow, hitting wild shots and throwing in hopeful crosses to players 5ft tall...

Motta should have been given a second yellow card in all fairness for what he did.

Inter's defending was good, but Barca's attacking decided the game more. Barca must have had something like 8 shots. That's eight times Inter failed to do their job. Problem was, Barca's shooting was terrible.

Barca screwed themselves over. I got frustrated watching them trying to slide a ball into a box crowded with Inter players, or trying a pass when there was clear space to shoot.
flak and gary love stacie and weep sorrowful tears when she's not around

Pep forked up by not moving Messi wide and as shite as Ibra is he should of left him on with Bojan.

Messi was wide but they couldnt get the ball to him because there were 4 players around him when he didnt have the ball.

He was too central imo, never got out wide against Zanetti at all. TBF Alves, Keita, Yaya and Busquets didn't know what to do on the ball and heped out Inter no end

He only moved more centrally towards the end of the game because he couldnt get the ball. He was more involved when he went infield.

barce were unlucky but it balances itself out, tbh inter were better in terms of chances created over the 2 legs.

barce got super lucky last year against chelski, this year they were unlucky, fair play. as for the diving barce do exactly the same, alves is sucH hen SUCKING forkING winker WHO IS A chicken. The words diver in the history of the sport, nobody dives and over reacts as much as he does, i am glad barce lost because of that chicken.


why the fk wasnt henry bought on, in times like those you need players who can handle pressure situations, they need henry to make run in behind the inter defence, also alves should have been hugging the touchline instead of coming in

8 shots for a team like Barca is incredibly s**t - so Inter did their job admirably.
