Anybody else watch this on BT Sport? I can't stand those two dickheads commentating, especially Robbie Savage. Lord please give us someone else for the final.

Sadly I did. They were insufferable. Tbh I disliked the main commentator more than Savage. He was on the verge of tears when we scored the second goal. Thankfully final is on free tv in here so I won't have to watch from bt sport again.

pls dont tell that sqalnakel guy we just score 5 goals


What?

I was saying we were clearly much superior than Shakhtar, that we should win easily, almost everyone else was concerned, some were almost shitting their pants afraid of Shakhtar's Brazilians.

I'm virtually the only one here not surprised that we put 5 past them, I'm happy but my only surprise it's that our shit coach didn't fuck it up.

I also won't be surprised if we easily beat Sevilla, we're also clearly superior to them and on top of that Banega and Lucas Ocampos look to be in bad form.



i hear a lot of times "but shaktar is really bad" and things like that. People saying we are here because it's really easy... maybe yeah, but if Shaktar is bad, where are this other "big teams" that normaly are playing in EL? At last Inter made it to this final, not like Arsenal, Ajax and all other "favorites". This discussion makes no sense. It's like saying "Italy would have won the World cup because even Croazia made it to the final". What the fuck?


There are no other big teams in EL, we're the only one. Our squad is easily top 10 in Europe, Sevilla and Man U are at best top 20, and probably closer to 20 than to 15 BTW.



We are imo almost 100% to win the final. Our defense is unbelievable in past 5-6 games. That give me vibes from 2010, and the same thing was happening. We look like a team that cannot lose atm and Sevilla fits us perfectly. Another "great attacking team", right after Napoli... Atalanta... Bayer Leverkusen... and now Shaktar. Sounds familiar?

Defense wins you titles and we have rock solid defense atm. That's why gags plays btw. That's why Dambrosio plays. That's why Skriniar does not and Godin plays instead.

As to this game, you guys focus on our bad plays, but I'd rather focus on the fact that Shakhtar, apparently a team with amazin forward line, a team scoring 4, 5 goals a game recently, did close to shit. Same as Atalanta, same as Bayern. I see a pattern here. We shut down Shakhtar like a world class team. Second half was more of the same. Shakhtar, who was suppose to play dangerous plays, mixed up linking passes, high pressing, all of that did squat. This was a sign of huge strength. Sevilla looked shakey, man utd, piss poor man utd had gazilion chances and if not for their abmysal finishing they would be out. You telling me that team has a chance against us? (don't give me this respect crap, I'm a fan not our player, I don't have to keep my head down to not underestimate them on the field).

Conte set up our team masterfully. It looks as if he just fields the same 11 every game and lets them play. That's a sign of a top coach. We can not let this guy go over some minor shit like his offensive post match interview. This guy and Marotta are building something special here. Give them 1-2 more seasons and we will be where barca would like to be now.

Last shout is to studio comentators. I don't know about you, but polish ones are making me sick. Every game I hear the same thing. "Getafe/Bayer/Shakhar" just lacked aggresiveness, they played too slow, they didn't attack with enough players. Etc. etc. Ok, you can give someone 1 game, maybe 2 games like that and explain it that way. But after 5-6 matches like that in a row you kinda have to ask yourself why it's so. Maybe it's because Inter is masterful defensively atm and a team plays like your opponent allows. They are idiots.


This is the pure truth our defense is finally playing like it should have been since the start of the season, we looked so shaky despite playing so defensively all season long, but if we're gonna play that defensively how it has been the past 6 games is how it should be, let's hope it last at least one more game.

Disagree about Conte of course, it took him all season long to figure it out. And we're with 7 outfield defensive players, 2 offensive ones and 1 in between to achieve this, this won't fly against the European elite teams.

Haha these guys are literally drinking coke and eating pizza. I guess they will burn it off in the training session.

The pizza looks like fairly healthy pizza to be fair, not overly greasy or cheesy.

Yeah. After we scored the second goal, he said that it should have been 1-1.

Whatever they're doing seems to be working. The players have looked fit and in shape during this run-in.

The pizza looked fucking awful. Funny to see them drinking coke though wouldn't have expected that. I'd say they got it after the game and that was it

Barella, stacking 4 slices of pizza, slouching like a layabout while chewing with his mouth open. Good, honest Cagliari lad.

Sensimp, quietly sitting by himself, simply eating pizza while looking at his phone, no doubt signing in with his girlfriend - a genius reference to the insane FIF discussions months ago that his girlfriend ruined him and humiliated him on TV with a prank and she's the reason for his numerous injuries.

Meanwhile, Moses elegantly eating that G grade pizza with excellent knife and fork technique like a member of the British Royal Family. Top cutlery usage.

Thanks, really enjoy this video. I wish I can see more video after the match where people all smile and hugging including the management.

You like that huh? Like videos of people hugging? Here's a video of our team celebrating at full time:

I don't know if you guys can access this video cos it's from an Australian provider and might be geo blocked outside of AUS. If you can't, try using a VPN or a youtube proxy site.

Zanetti, Marotta and i think Zhang too, with a big smile hugging Conte. This says more then all the things the media said about Conte.

The issues are with Papa Zhang. The kid is emotional and is around, but if his dad tells him off, he'll follow whatever the command is. Don't conflate these things.

It's good to see them having fun, but when you realize some of them won't be in the next season's team it just makes you feel sad. I remember when Vecino scored the winner against Lazio which secured our presence in the CL of following season, Miranda's face was full of joy. He looked like the happiest man in the world and at that moment I didn't even think that it was his last game for us.

Couldn't find the video where he grabs the ball from Lazio's net and kicks it upwards with a happy face. It stuck in my mind cause I never seen him even smiling. Anyway, in this video at 4:08 you can still see him rejoice ;)

Edit: Oh my god, you mean it wasn't his last game? :lol:
Yes you are right, he actually played in the CL with us. Wtf... am I aging or am I losing my sanity
