We must keep our heads up. The inter game is gone now, lets
concentrate on the next game with Xeres, I am a bit uneasy
with Real Madrid breathing down our neck.

Up Barca.

Camp nou is not old trashford

Look where the assistant ref is standing, he's not even in line with Pique. Absolutely shocking refereeing.

if espanyol and Sevilla can do it against this same team at Nou Camp, then Inter shdnt labour too much to wreck havoc

Dude,don't even go there.
Last season against Chelsea,you got some calls going for you.Ovrebo is one factor that you got to play and win 6 titles in one year.

make we dey see

u don win the trophies for 3 years in one season (last season)

just relax and expect another trophy in 2012

haha. It's funny watching people comment about Messi's game yesterday as if Inter did something that has never happened before. That's how we know people that only ever watch barca highlights and CL games. If u watch Barca regularly u know that happens from time to time. Messi getting shut out of a game completely isn't headline news.

About 5 minutes into the game I had seen exactly what Inter were trying to do. They placed one of their forwards (Eto'o or Sneijder) out wide, and Milito and a partner playing real close together and simultaneously trying to beat the offside trap. Usually teams have just one man trying to beat the trap and our CB's positioning usually leave him stranded, but Inter always had a second available for a quick tap pass from his partner. The wide man would be an outlet if we are able to get players back  in time, cause they would most likely be scrambling around goal mouth to prevent a goal. (see their equalizer, and the first couple of attempts they had on goal) Inter deserves full credit for their EXECUTION of their plan. I take my hat off. the pressure in midfield was relentless and Inter just kept trying to play their forwards in immediately the got the ball. I'm sure they had practiced that $h1t all day, everyday for the last few weeks.

They were really strong physically yesterday. We were not bad, but we just couldn't get into full gear, and our star players were shut out quite effectively. It was just one of those games when almost everything is going right for your opponent and it seems the world is out to get you. it happens from time to time. I wish we had a second cause our play after Abidal came on was much better. Moving Maxwell into the midfield helped us retain possession better. It didn't happen, so boo fukn hoo.

Scoring 2 goals at the Nou Camp is very possible. Against a Mourinho team, it will be tough, but I know this team is a team of champions and will put Inter to the sword when they come to Catalonia. I'm proud of the team. They never leave me pointing fingers of blame and wishing we had different set of players. They always go out there and try their hardest. We can't win em all. . . but we certainly haven't lost this one yet.

Forza barça!!

Alves did not deserve a yellow he went down under a clumsy tackle from Sniedjer
Inter third goal was offside goal. Also, action for second goal started from a foul on Messi by Motta.

yeah, Messi is the best footballer ever

analysts with no brain

@DK,
Make we no stretch this Messi argument.
The boy is not worth all the accolades as Greatest Ever.Simple.

@Krayola
Nice analysis i think road-lag was a factor but honestly you guys where slow off the blocks in the 2nd half! that's a no-no in a road game. They totally blitzed y'all in the first 20mins and that was where the ball game was won and lost. Baba God done do am shebi you can remember our argument at the start of the season about Ibra and Eto'o now you see what an over-rated player he is! Obviously Pep didn't learn from Chelsea's mistake, big strikers don't trouble Lucio and Samuel. I dunno why Pep ain't playing Henry but i doubt he woulda been as bad as Ibra for that game he may be fresh from injury but he coulda done better!

If i needed reasons as to why Maicon starts ahead of Alves for the Selecao i got answers last night i'm not a Barca fan but i felt like melting that dude in a tub filled with sulphuric acid. Good grief if i had a zimbabwean dollar for every rubbish cross the nucca threw last night Carlos Slim would be ma butler

To be fair Inter wanted it more and absolutely shackled Messi y'all coulda done with another runner like Iniesta to double team Zanetti but its all past tense

If y'all want to beat Inter next week leave Ibra on the bench! Lucio and Samuel would swallow him like an okele of amala i doubt they can cope with the intensity Nou Camp would bring sha but y'all need to ante up

@A-40,
Great analysis.
It's not like I'm mouthing off or nythin,but Barca didn't just seem in sync last nite.
Alves for all his athleticism probably isn't exactly what Barca needs at right full back.His crossing tends to be miserable in the big games.Defending is also a big ask for him.
The question is:who do Barca go with in attack?Methinks Bojan is lightweight.TH14 seems past it the way he's playing.
Iniest and Xavi together woulda been ideal:Keita and Busquets couldn't seem to hold the ball properly to make Barca a threat and free up Messi with their passing/ball movement.Ini is injured and they have to make do without him.
In all,Barca still are in the tie,despite what we all might say.They need to focus and regroup,but the Barca backline doesn't inspire enough confidence in anyone to bet they'll end up clean in the return leg.Already Puyol&Pique are on a yellow:that's enough to unsettle them.If Barca go through,I'm thinking that the final would have to go to Madrid without at least one of the pair.The Inter guys need to chase the ball for them to be unsettled:United and Arsenal have shown that in time past.If Barca can hold the ball long enough to make it count,I think they have a chance.
I also think the bus trip did a lot of harm.But I woulda thot they coulda been a lot more professional instead of going full-tilt as witnessed in the first half.It certainly looked like they lost a lot of steam at the start of the second half.
My observations though.Nothing more.

I am not a Barca fan but they were robbed last night.
Mourinho used his strong-arm tactics perfectly and he got the rub of the green.

Inter's 3rd goal was clearly scored from an OFFside position and Daniel Alves shoulda copped a penalty and a RED card for Sneijder(tackle from behind)
Based on those 2 incidents, game might have ended 2-0.

On top of that all, Barca were tired after the long coach ride and i heard Jose Mourinho refused to water the pitch in San Siro.
The ball didn't zip at all so the passes were nowhere. I still tip Barca to destroy Mourinho.

To keep Messi quiet in front of his fans is a big ASK and i won't be surprised if Inter concedes 4 goals in the first 60 mins next week.

I back Barca to go through but I dont want to hear excuses about yesterday. They were roundly beaten.

Referee? They should remember Ovrebo

Dry pitch? They are sounding like Wenger. Its flimsy. They should be ready to play anywhere, anytime.

Khanye

u r such a sore loser, get a dog dude, u sure need some!

akinalabi:

Roundly beaten?
They battered Inter to a pulp in the 2nd half. In short, Barca camped in Inter's half looking for the killer pass.
Pique became a centre forward and Inter were just happy to sit back and catch em on the break.

Referee? They should remember Ovrebo

Yes, the referee ruined Barca.
If that was Rooney that got hacked by Sneijder with a penalty turned down, we would be screaming BLUE MURDER.
Sneijder shoulda been sent off for a cynical foul.

Dry pitch? They are sounding like Wenger. Its flimsy. They should be ready to play anywhere, anytime.

When the pitch is dry, it is very difficult to string passes together.
This is why the groundsmen at the Emirates, Old Trafford and Nou Camp spray water just before the game to keep the ball flowing.
We all know Mourinho is a useless tactician. Did he not insist they play a Champions League game on a potato-pitch while at Chelsea?

Abeg my people, when is our next game coming up against Xerex?

~Sauron~:

I agree. He is absolutely useless.
Infact he is so useless he is only two wins away from matching Fergie's two European Cups win(Champs Lge) having spent less time in the game. Shiorrrrrrrrrrr
