Depends on the situation in the group at the time.

Inter will also have Cambiasso back by then, which will give them a greater chance of not being totally dominated in midfield.
Barcelona dominated everywhere, I highly doubt Cambiasso would make a difference in this match. If they didn't play attacking here, in Italy, I don't think they have guts to do so in Spain.

I'm trying to look on internet and buy Zlatan's form and performances in CL, where can I buy this thing? I need it, rumors saying he can make cadabra and not only against Bologna and Lecce, cadabra please, where?

It's not about guts, it's about being sensible.

The first half tonight was very balanced with Inter arguably looking more dangerous in the early stages. Barca then took control, but struggled to create chances.

If you try and attack against Barca, you will get beaten. All you can do is sit back and hope to get chances of the counter attack.

Do you want teams to go and attack Barca and get butchered on the break?

So no one can stop Barcelona unless they are defending? I'd like to see Manchester - Barca then, I bet they wouldn't sit back.

Don't know, I didn't see anything from Inter. Maybe they had control in the first 5 minutes but later on it was all Barcelona. Sensible? But if they need points to be first they will have to attack, so it's a lose-lose situation.

3-2 Arsenal. :disagree: Fuck the diver and his team.

It's always the same damn thing with that team. They're piss poor, but always squeak by somehow.
The main reason why Arsenal is in top3 of my dislike list :)

I'm almost certain that they will at least go to the quarter finals because of lucky draws they will get.

    If Barca needed this match more it would have ended 4-0.
    I disagree. Inter defended great. Barca did try to score with everything they have, but they simply couldn't.
    Zlatan (apart from once at the start of the match) wasn't alowed to move even 1 meter without at least one of Lucio and Samuel on his back. Messi was doubled all the time and he wasn't even alowed to move inside the box (Many times he was forced to take the ball in center). Xavi too. Henry always had Maicon on his back while Inter midfielders sometimes didn't even think about going forward and leave space at the back.
    The defensive organisation was perfect and Barca couldn't do shit about it.

    Maybe, we'll see how it goes after groups with this good-organized Inter.

    Remind me what happened in the CL Final?

    Don't know, I didn't see anything from Inter. Maybe they had control in the first 5 minutes but later on it was all Barcelona. Sensible? But if they need points to be first they will have to attack, so it's a lose-lose situation.
    But if they can get two draws against Barca, then they just have to try to do better than Barca against the other teams to finish top.

    That is what they will be aiming for.

    And imo Eto'o and Milito were very bad (stupid?) tonight. They had so much space but they didn't know how to use it. Milito was always offside while Eto'o was lost and stuck in midfield. Both of them are fast enough and this was a perfect match for them to win it.
    Last year's Inter would have stood no chance against Barca because Zlatan is static, but this Inter had a chance to do more if Eto'o and Milito were smarter and if Sneijder did his job well.

    No, i'm not saying that they can do much in CL this year. All i'm saying is that they played very organized against a superior team and did what was needed to stop the (much) superior team.

    :agree:

    There was lots of space in behind and there were about ten times through the game they had a good chance to get in behind Barca.

    They only managed it once; when Milito got in behind and set up Stankovic for Inter's only chance in the second half.

    Now I think I watched some different match.

    Fair enough...but if you look like that only 2 teams can stop Barcelona and we aren't one.
    But Inter could have won today.

    They defended well, but attacked poorly.

    There are several teams (including us) that can beat Barca, but they all need to play a perferct game and get some luck as well

    Maybe, but it's pretty hard to rely on that.
    Well, it's pretty hard to finish above Barca.
