Milan from all the big teams remainnig in CL has the least chance of beating Farça, they were literally trollin them in San Siro.
Milan MF

Exactly. And I don't buy the "Barca was toying with Milan" stuff, you want to see Barca toying with a team, you look at last nights match. Milan actually made them defend, and didn't give them much time on the ball.
Say what you want about Milan, but they have the offensive talent to defeat any team on the planet, and a very strong mentality.

But no way Milan actually Barca beats Milan, if you watched the first two games, it was literally as if barca wasn't taking Milan seriously especially in the second when they Pep played some weird formation and you could feel that Barca could've scored whenever they liked to.
From the remaining teams i could only think of Bayern or RM who are capable of beating Barca. Bayern has a set of quick wingers that could actually trouble Barca if their coach decided to just sit back and hit them on counters because no way you couldl beat them playing an attacking match.
RM has all what it takes to win against them, it's just mental so i still like their chances in a elimination round.
Barca played with a shameful defence that game and Milan only created 3/4 chances playing at home against an uncomplete Barca who scored whenever they felt like to.

Inter didn't have the pedigree nor mentality for CL big games. Yet they beat Barca.
They did it partly because they had the always needed luck, but also because of a top coach, players in great form, excellent tactics, non stop running, hard working midfield, quality players in every single line and position etc.
Whoever manages to put all that together, has a shot of beating Barca.

as you said it yourself, the right coach and players, who after dominating in Italy for several years, had gained the winning mentality they lacked at Inter from previous years, being there at the same time gave them that CL-level mentality they needed to edge strong teams like Barca, Chelsea, etc. - adding players like Eto'o, Lucio, and even Sneijder, players with considerable CL experience, didn't hurt either. ... so, in the end, Inter did need to add that extra "CL factor" to win the tournament ... a cutting edge for the big games, of sort, that Bayern and Chelsea lack right now.
Of course, not getting several PK being called against them and scoring a goal vs Barca from an offside helped too
There is one other important factor left, IMO - Barca's complacency after having won the CL and Spanish title the previous season ... which, IMO, also played a big role in Inter edging out Barca - Inter played those games like their life depended on it, while Barca didn't.

let them worry about passing arsenal first before even talking about Barcelona.
