Barcelona - Inter (28 Apr 10) []

[Xaviniesta]

That would be inexcusable for FCBarca, who was all about catalanism 'n stuff in other thread.

Yea sure...here where i live everybody say Nou Camp(its easier to pronounce) but i always say Camp Nou because thats its real "wording".

 

[Black&Blue]

I agree,but Chelsea is very similar team to yours BUT without the guy like Snejider.When you press them hard they CANT pass,they also played very weird,like they was not hungry anymore for CL,also they are older now and their pitch is pretty small.Stamford Bridge is nothing spectacular like Giuseppe Meazza and Camp Nou,its no wonder you guys are not losing games at your pitch and its no wonder that we trash every team that gets on ours.I have to admit i like You Inter fans,pretty objective and fair(unlike Gooners) but if you dont follow Barca you dont know that they really press the way that you guys did 2 days ago.When we lose ball we get it right away but on your pitch we just retreated...poor from us really.I expect great match between two great sides,my heart is always red and blue but if you guys beat u fair and square i will cheer for you in finals

Chelsea is still a great team believe me,personally I don't remember in those recent 5 years someone ruling Chelsea at their home in Champions League (maybe Liverpool but Chelsea at the end passed) even Barca suffered a lot against them last year (and to be honest the english deserved to pass),but we did...
Anyway Barca is still the best team in the world as quality but details makes the differences in KO games not only quality so anything can happen,I can't wait for wednesday...

Yes agree,Chelsea is not to be underestimated its just that i think that C Ancelloti messed them up a bit.If it was for Guus Hiddink Inter would not pass them that easily,they have a team to match every opponent.Yea,lets TRY to wait for wednesday,one thing im sure of is that game will be bananas!!!

 

[Alex de Large]

Actually... Inter is the only team in the last 5 years who beat Chelsea without ref helps or going to the overtime and then pk's...

 

[Luka]

To me,Mou is 2nd best coach in the world(behind Guus) but neither did he manage to stop barca(at best) on Camp Nou...

As it was said already, Inter is a totaly different team at the moment, than it was back in group stages, and Jose doesn't make the same mistake twice, as also was said.

We all understand you'll be at your own stadium, that messi is best player in the world, that Xavi is best, that you play very fast football at Camp Nou and all that.

But again... we're not Arsenal or Stuttgart, and you saw it in the first leg. If anybody can neutralise your game this season, it's us.

You are able to beat us by those 2 goals, but it will take a lot, A LOT more effort than against Arsenal or Suttgart, that was really a stroll in a park.

Also, when it comes to beating with two goals. Barca have to win exactly 2-0 to beat us, or 3-1 to get to the extra time. Otherwise it has to be three goals difference.

Our away goal would be hugely important in this match.

Ooh yes. We need to get an early one and then go catenaccio...

 

[perika]

im sure we will score one

 

[Stefan]

Messi is an important cog but xavi is way more important. He is what makes barca tick.

 

[ElCuchu]

This match is what i've been waited for 9 years as Inter fan.

 

[Intermilano90]

In first leg most of our players focused on stopping Messi while Xavi had some spaces and we could have concede a goal because of this. Xavi is more important for Barcelona than Messi. Messi scores most of his goals with Xavi as his producer.

 

[Handoyo]

Btw, this is a message mostly to Barcelona fans: Inter is a whole different team from the one you saw at the Camp Nou earlier this season.

Maybe you haven't closely followed us for the past few seasons. So let me tell you that we had a huge mental block/curse/jinx whatever you call it that caused our player to severely underperform at the European stage.

However, since beating Chelsea 2-1 at the Meazza, that 'thing' is gone and now our players can play confidently, up to their full potential, without the huge weight on their shoulder.

Yes, he won't make the same mistakes. But he MIGHT make OTHER mistakes.
It's not like there is only one way to loose with Barca and one way to win with them and Jose know both ways.


It's true that Jose is the one who can turn off Barcelona's magic. But it doesn't mean it will work out. Remember the game of his Chelsea where he first won 3:1 and then lost 5:1. Thats what makes me unsure about the 2nd leg, their unpredictabilty. But on the other hand, we already proved with Chelsea that if we can impose our playingstyle on our field and make opponents play the way we want to, we can do the same away from home.


May the god help us. After winning both games with Chelsea and one with Barcelona, we deserve CL final more than anyone else.

 

[Alex de Large]

Can't understand why i can't buy the ticket until Tuesday morning... is this normal on CL or what?

 

[Luka]

Yes, he won't make the same mistakes. But he MIGHT make OTHER mistakes.

Good point.

On the other hand, it's not normal thing for Mourinho to make mistakes, so the odds are strongly on our side

 

[Thelonious Monk]

I think Barca fans haven’t quite believed we have their number and rightfully so…afterall they could still go on & win the CL and make a solid argument they are the best team of the last two decades…

Its abit like us against Roma @ the meazza in 06/07…we were unstoppable that season & were on the verge of winning the title but they came to play & ruined the perfect season…also this season Roma again despite their amazing record we thought we would beat them at the Olimpico (like we always do) & ruin their title run BUT shock we lost…

In other words Barca fans can save their half hearted congratulations after the 3.1 win because we know its all a sham you are just trying to be nice…show up here next Wednesday if we beat you & kudos to you

The result you are referring to was not Mourinho's Chelsea, it was Vialli's Chelsea and it was 5-1 only after extra time. But anyway, i don't see the relevance of that, it was 10 years ago and Barca have completely changed.

 

[mario.santon]

I will be modest and say we need to be careful... Coz they could beat us last time in Camp Nou... But at that we we played like scared chickens... with no passion and full of fear...

It is a great hope we can hold them and even beat them... Coz barca is supposed to be nervous to be trailed by two goals... IF we can steal two goals... Barca players will probably go 'gung hoo' and we could party on their defense..

Jose's chelsea never lost 5-1 vs barca. That happended in 1999/2000. I believe it was vialli who was chelsea manager then.

In 2004/2005 his chelsea side lost 2-1 at camp nou but won 4-2 at the bridge.

In 2005/2006 his chelsea side lost the first leg 2-1 at the bridge with eto'o scoring for barca and motta scoring an own goal for chelsea.

They drew 1-1 at camp nou.
