Champions League: "Barcelona" - "Inter", the hour of patience
Even before the start of the match was felt that the match will be very difficult. The first twenty minutes of the game only confirmed this.
"Barcelona" totally controlled the ball and "Inter" very carefully and competently defended. But after the 25th minute finally began to emerge moments for the home team. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Zlatan Ibrahimovic) was completely "eaten" defenders of the Italian club.
Therefore, the ball became increasingly provided by other players. The first dangerous moment was at Xavi, who gave the ball Lionel Messi (Lionel Messi). The game calmed down again, and on 30 minutes, Thiago Motta (Tiago Motta), after being waved in the direction of Sergio Busquets, the referee sent off the match. But this was not a straight red, and repeated "yellow card" so that it was clearly the case.
Finally, the moment came and Messi, but place was Julio Cesar (Julio Cesar).
De Bleeckere (Frank de Bleeckere), meanwhile, did not calm down and continued to hand out yellow cards to players of "Inter". At the end of the first half, the Catalans possession has become three times more than the visitors (75% vs. 25%). But this result did not say. Also deviated kick from the penalty area Zlatan even recall nothing. 0-0.
Nobody doubted that the second half will begin with the attacks of "Barcelona", but "Inter" perfectly closed in their half. Of course, the word "fine" should take into account the fact that the guests played for 15 minutes in the minority. Seeing that nothing changes, Josep Guardiola in the region of 60 minutes decided on a double substitution: Jeffren and Bojan out instead of Zlatan and Busquets.
And three minutes later Sneijder leaves the field, instead of which comes Sulley Muntari. 10 minutes of the guests simply can not go half of the field! But the whole game takes place between the midfield and the penalty. Several consecutive corners at the gates of Julio Cesar - nothing. There is still the best player in the defense, "Inter" is Samuel Eto'o! Moreover, Cameroonian even managed to run forward and strike the target.
And the Catalans immediately responded killer moment. Messi from the left wing attack neatly hung on Bojan, but he took it and missed. And on 85 minutes, Gerard Pique (Gerard Pique) forwards showed how to play and score such an important goal! Took the ball, the Spaniard turned around its axis, and then punched clear. 1-0 and five minutes of normal time to come!
Went stoppage time. In the second minute Bojan (Bojan Krkic) scores again! But the referee did not count towards the goal, some of the players, "Barca" in front of this handball ...
And here is the last corner. Nothing. "Inter" has managed to survive and for the first time in 38 years gets into the final of the Champions League! Such joy like Jose Mourinho (Jose Mourinho) quite a while nobody saw.
