Well, good game by Inter and the special one.. They are a good defensive unit. I hope bayern beat them tho, not because i'm a sore loser, i just fancy bayern more..
Sigh, winning in Bernebeu no more....Sad day in barcelona.

To the comment above saying we have a good team but a bad manager, i am appalled.. BAD MANAGER does not win 6 titles in a year.. Tell me which other manager did that?? idiot trolls..

I hope ibra bucks up next season... And plz bring back keirison so we have sth to fall back on, in case.. Reflecting on this season, at least we got a really promising kid in jeffren, and maxwell was a good buy. Ibra and chygy, not so much.. Lets hope we steamroll villareal and win the la liga.. And hopefully pep chooses his transfers carefully come summer..

No matter what, Visca el Barca..

On another note, two master tacticians in the final.. Hope it'd be a good clean game with no controversy.. May the best team win.

The match was lost in the first leg. Barca should have tighten their defense after a goal up. That was a vital away goal & a strategy, in hindsight, to be vigilant & not to be 'greedy' in their offensive forays. Thats the difference between the defensive Mourihno & Guardio.

Anyways MOTM was Etoo who had a point to prove against the 'monkey chanting riffraff'.

Just want to ask...why Barca dont try long range shooting from the beginning...to break Inter defense with Maicon,Lucio,Samuel and Zanetti...was not necessary...

and one thing i notice that from the beginnig of the last season...Barca usually play one type of style..Barca-style...and rarely about tactical changes..

I watched some Barca game..not as much as you all..but i think i got a point there...am i right??

It was d 14hrs busride.....period

i will swap eto for ibra,but just 1 to 1 swap. not giving any extra money lol

or i will pay 35mil for ibra...well....i say i will but in FM ma lol

LOL, ABB, nice one

Again, another comment pop out from somebody who doesn't have the whole picture in his mind.

I can't remember if I've countered this criticsm before, so here I go.

Dude, do you know Eto'o called Laporta a liar just before he got booted out? People keep saying Eto'os value was 20 million euros, so roughly the overall transfer will be 60++ million. They didn't consider what was actually the value of Eto'o in Barca's POV at that time, after calling the president a liar.

For next season, I expect Caceres, Henrique, Botia, Keirrison will be back just to give the team more depth. Signings? I feel a new LW will be enough, though maybe a new CM will come. But please don't spend too much on a CM.

Took the words right out of my mouth !

/former barca admirer

Still dude, Etoo + cash for Ibra? I think thats freaking expensive. Dun get me wrong. I still think Barca still the best team at the moment but I am not sure whether Ibra style suits Barca. I do frequent watching Barca played whenever possible (although not as much as you ), I just don't see how Ibra fit with that kind of price tag.

And I think the damage is done at San Siro.

busquet yesterday was Trying to get someone sent off like that

as much as i hate inter milan, they deserve to go thru.

I just hope barca wont lose out on the la liga title now

Calling your own president a liar won't make your market value plummet. With less than a year on your contract however is another story. Barca were caught in no man's land safe to speak. Eto'o wanted to be rewarded for his contributions with a new but highly paid contract (which frankly he deserved) but it never came (which was why he called Laporta a liar)
I can see why Barca accepted the offer for Ibra at the end given the situation but just taking the value at context it does seem absurd.

I agree with you. The first match already gave huge advantage to Mourinho to come to Nou camp and set all defensive plan. Much article on the web critizes on Pep romantic approach to play attacking when he knew the players were not at their best physically bcoz of their exhausting tight schedule and the long bus ride... not to give excuses but thats what happened.

On the other hand, Inter did very well and deserve to go to final.... What can u say about Inter... they're a step away to win another Scudetto and already in the final of Italian cup. Prove that they're a very strong now..

Didn't you watch the match? They did try but its not practical. Looking at the defenders there. THey did try to shoot afew.

I watched the match..if you say that long range is not helping then...to break the defense also not helping...

Watching the match brought me back to 10 years ago.. when Italian football had crazy defence.. and spanish football was about pace and attacking.. Thanks For the good match.. aside from the red card.. Gosh!

Basically ...the only way to break Inter's defence is to cross into the middle of penalty box and hope for a header...But as I said...Inter's size was seems greater than FCB's. Thus most of the crosses was headed out. Last night's match can be one of the perfect defence u will ever seen in these few years. Goal keeper's movement isn't that much. But FCB failed to pass, cross, bring the ball in individually... Long shot's de only option but it wasn't easy to do so and most of the attempt failed. And I would said this...Inter defend it quite healthily too to avoid penalty granted to FCB.

seriously i also dun understand why the switch between ibra and eto o?

what ibra has that eto dun have? eto can score goal so as ibra. but where there is a need to swap and add cash somemore?

Zlatan's first touch is godly which makes him in a perfect target man role in the Barca system where passes will come in all angles any time. There's already Messi, Pedro, Henry on the wings and they have the pace and skills required to push forward frequently so there's no need of another pacey striker like Eto'o. When it comes to finishing, i think it's debatable who's better but if you ask me who can make something happen out of nothing, it's Zlatan>Eto'o. I'd say he's the player that Berbatov was meant to be.

10 vs 11 still and with the best player on earth also still lose?
Haha. Obviously Mourinho is from another planet.
