The Inter match was a gem and the way the ?special one? held court was almost mystical during the after match briefing....

How does it go Jose M.....? "It gives me great pride to say that we could go to Madrid to play the final or we will come home from Barcelona with our heads held high, obviously we'd be happy if we go to Madrid and if not we'd be disappointed but we know that we've done everything, when I arrived at Inter we had trouble just qualifying from the group stages, we didn't do well in this competition and had a fear of winning and people said we couldn't play in Europe, Inter are a great team, but now we've beaten the best team in the world and now Inter are a great Champions League team, If we don't win it this year, we'll win it next year or in two years time. We'll be in semi-finals and finals, we've changed."..........so says the special one ....



You know Barca had 60% plus of the first half procession but were hunted down on and off the ball, Messi looked hounded....

The Bayern Lyon match was a right messy affair, Ribery sent off, amidst all the scandal after being questioned by French Detectives about the alleged involvement in the procurement of under-age prostitutes...Ribery will miss the 2nd leg ..., John Terry come home all is forgiven.... Robben sealed the winner for Bayern ......
