They were not unlucky this time. Infact, I have mentioned exactly in this thread on some page ( I don´t know what) that they won´t win the CL this season also cause they fail in big matches. They usually do well in group stage and when they have to prove their greatness, they choke.
And I do agree with Jack that they were too arrogant. That was seen even in French league that they stepped the foot off the gas. Simply, they weren´t playing their best and Roma punished it.

That's actually quite good. Us balkans, we like to mix our insults up. 
Anywho, if it was any other team playing against Valencia yesterday I would be disapointed with the outcome, but since it's Inter....Isn't David Navarro the best?

Ashamed Navarro offers apology
Wednesday 7 March, 2007
Valencia defender David Navarro has apologised for causing the mass brawl which followed his punch on Inter’s Nicolas Burdisso. “I’m sorry and ashamed,” he admitted.
The Nerazzurri were knocked out of the Champions League last night following a 0-0 draw, but they didn’t leave the Mestalla without a fight.
The tie deteriorated into chaos at the final whistle after an altercation between Burdisso and Carlos Marchena saw Navarro sprint off the bench and smash the Argentine’s nose wide open with a cowardly punch.
“I saw that they were trying to attack one of my teammates and I lost my nerve,” Navarro stated on Wednesday morning.
“I have never done anything like this before and I will never do it again. I am very sorry and ashamed,” added the defender.
The Valencia player also confirmed his desire to make contact with Inter and Burdisso himself to apologise for his unacceptable behaviour.
“I have not seen the television images or the reaction of the Inter players in our dressing room, I was in another room, but my teammates told me what happened,” he added.
“It was a very unpleasant situation, I want to apologise to all those who have been affected by my actions.”
According to the latest reports, UEFA representatives spoke to Valencia’s private security team, as well as police officers at the stadium, in order to prepare a detailed report on what happened after the whistle.
Players from both sides are almost certainly heading for lengthy bans for their part in the brawl, which lasted well over 15 minutes on the pitch and inside the dressing room.
UEFA inquiry into Valencia events
UEFA is opening an investigation into incidents which took place at the end of last night's UEFA Champions League first knockout round match between Valencia CF and FC Internazionale Milano in Spain.
Hearing set
The European body said the matter would be dealt with by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body at its meeting on 22 March. Last night's match ended in a goalless draw, which meant that Valencia qualified for the quarter-finals on the away-goals ruling after a 2-2 draw in Milan two weeks ago.

Inter should be banned for 3 years, plain and simple, enough is enough. How many times will they bring the game innto disrepute in cl? They did it against Arsenal, Milan and now this. Whats it with Argentine players that they cannot lose gallantly? In the world cup they did the same thing against Germany and now Burdiso and Cambiasso were just disgraceful in their behaviour
Barcelona went out because of some pretty weird tactical decisions by Rikjard. First leg was just a calamity in terms of decision making, to leave out etoo entirely, then play with the formation he did was just nuts. Its been clear for anyone with eyes that Marquez and Edmilson are both substandard as defenders and just incompetent as holding midfielders. Is there a rule that says Ronaldinho cannot be subbed as in big games nowadays he hardly shows up? I am not even sure what Rijkard was doing in the second leg, no left back, Iniesta , the most in form Barceloan player, playing deep, Etoo on the wing and Ronaldinho thru the centre, it was just total football which was ultimately no football as nothing was happening at all.
Well done to Roma though for going thru a difficult tie , though Lyon have been ordinary this year, losing games they ordinarily wouldn't in their domestic league
