The FC Barcelona beat Inter Milan 1-0, proved insufficient to overcome the heavy first-leg 3-1. Barca not a great lover of epic, not in your DNA, is necessary to resort to it, considering the club’s philosophy is a bad sign: This implies that only comes with the game. It’s like asking architects and draftsmen to make cement or operating a jackhammer. The environmental excitation has been carrying throughout the week did not help that the team were playing better, so the club, no game or an epic, no has been able to turn around the tie.

The average possession of the ball was above 75% but that, as said throughout the year, does not mean you play well. Not that the club has played poorly, but has not arrived. At this point nobody can deny that it is one or two rungs below the level of last year, against Inter of Mourinho, has been inadequate. In the first leg of his party did higher and achieved an advantage, in turn made his party, were a wall and defended the lead.

Pep Guardiola and was brave to do the scriptures pulled clues: came out with a 3-4-3, with Tour formed in the rear with Pique and Milito and strengthen the midfield as a winger Alves. Mourinho was fox and changed plans once they knew the alignment of his rival: with the excuse that Pandev had some trouble, took the opportunity to introduce your site to Chivu. The suspicion was beyond doubt when saw the Romanian defense stood just off Alves.

Barca started no overdrive, knowing that going crazy too soon could end up with their consequences, especially physically, with short legs template loaded miles. A half-hour mark, Motta put his hand in the face to Busquets, who used the launch to catch a little of that theater that Mourinho likes both, and the Brazilian, who during the week had said that the players Barca throw a lot, was expelled. With a man down the Portuguese coach pulled his book: the numerical inferiority is compensated for closing ranks.

A few minutes after the expulsion of Motta, Lionel Messi’s goal came very close in almost only play good he did in the whole match, but Julio Cesar managed to get the ball with the fingertips. After the break, Milito Guardiola changed by Maxwell, looking for a man more offensive to the left. But the club could not. He was unable to move the ball with speed, to create holes in walls, to unbalance a high pass rate. A Xavi has too many cones and missing people to move and play fast. Keita is OK as a supplement when well Iniesta but not that of Fuentealbilla Barca lose a key link. With the two short ones, anyone can be the third man. Without them and with the limited mobility of his attackers, at this stage the club is a team expected.

Ibrahimovic has returned to not keep up, once again, and replacing the benefit of Bojan in a game at this level against his former team, is charged with meanings and readings. Nor did Messi, again incurring the same mistake, either something you or your coach: playing for the center is a beast to kill Misplaced teams, but against teams either closed or have very inspired day, or is a hindrance, because it slows the transition from the ball and attracts rival to the middle, where it is easier to defend.

Bojan had a 82, a header that was adjusted over the account, but only Pique was able to step forward and lift the spirits of all with a goal. It is true that receive in an offside position, but the Dodge it does to Maicon and Julio Cesar, leaving them on the floor, and then check on the turn, was simply a refinement of a player who is much more than just a central. Then everything seemed possible and could have reached the grand finale: Bojan scored a goal perfectly legal, offset by an alleged hand Toure, who gives the ball in the stomach with the hand attached to the body. But in the end: one for the other.
