Haven't commented the draw much since I was a bit busy yesterday.
Great draw at first for Inter. Not perfect because of the semi opponents, but let's be realistic. Before the season everything after quarter-finals is a big, big plus. Even quarter-finals is a good progress compared to Inter's recent CL-runs, and now it looks we will reach semis.
So, first match home and second away. Too bad we didn't get the home advantage, but this shouldn't be too decisive. Comfortable beating at home and then just get the needed result in Moscow. The most important thing is to get the team in right mental condition. Somehow Mourinho needs to inject the same spirit to the team he did before the second Chelsea match. Also preparations before the match need to be at the same level so that we don't give anything to CSKA for free. After all, it was Mourinho vs Ancelotti battle in Stamford Bridge which Mou won like 6-0.

Generally the draw was a bit disappointing in the sense that most probable final will be the same as last year.
I've never liked it that same teams are there year after year. Now the match chart goes other side is ManU and other side Barca, Inter, Arsenal. So three out of top4 teams of the draw got into the same side of the chart. Well you can't always get everything (we already got the rather easy opponent
)
However, all the ties are interesting at least. Frenches against each other, Manu-Bayern, teams in pretty good form, and then of course Barcelona-Arsenal. There will be lots of interesting games indeed.
