    1907: BARCA v INTER TEAM NEWS
    Barcelona     boss Josep Guardiola makes two changes to his side from the first-leg, with Yaya Toure and Gabriel Milito drafted in at the expense of Maxwell and suspended home captain Carles Puyol. Gabriel's selection on the opposing side to Diego Milito means brothers play in the same Champions League match for the first time. Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho goes with the same XI that emerged from the opening leg a week ago 3-1 victors.


    1905: Barcelona v Inter Milan line-ups:
    Barcelona:     Valdes, Dani Alves, Pique, Milito, Keita, Xavi, Toure Yaya, Busquets, Pedro, Ibrahimovic, Messi.
    Subs: Pinto, Marquez, Bojan, Henry, Maxwell, Thiago, Jeffren.
    Inter Milan: Julio Cesar, Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Zanetti, Cambiasso, Motta, Eto'o, Sneijder, Pandev, Milito.
    Subs: Toldo, Cordoba, Muntari, Mariga, Materazzi, Chivu, Balotelli.
    Referee: Frank De Bleeckere (Belgium)

    32 - It's the 32nd minute and Motta has been sent-off. He softly taps Busquets on the face who goes down like a sack of potatoes and is shown a straight red (he was already on a yellow). Mourinho applauds the Barcelona fans (and the ref) while Motta grabs Busquets by the neck. Expect to go home to a 10-match ban, Thiago.

    35' - It's still 0-0, by the way.

    36' - Messi blows through two defenders and is denied by a fantastic save by Julio Cesar.

    The flopping... my goodness.

    Barca is going for it, though.

    Not looking good for Barca.

    Mourinho is the master of anti-football.

    Yup, he knows how to shut teams out. I'm not sure Barca can do this.

    They don't look up to it so far.

    I haven't watched Jose's Inter before. Bad memories of his Chelsea team. I'd be happy to never see him again in England...

    Inter sticking to five across the back... hardly ever crossing the half way line... just clearing it... Barca can't get past and when they do an Inter player will drop and flop like a goldfish out of its bowl.

    Goal -- Barcelona 1-0 Inter Milan (84' Pique)

    Pique, being used as a third striker, makes a brilliant turn and slots into the net. Game on.

    Barcelona need one more goal to advance to the finals.

    Couldn't watch it. :( I'm at work, but I listened on the radio. Congrats to Inter! It's good to see some of the brazilian players that are going to the WC succeed. Hopefully that will boost their confidence and help our NT.

    Heh, you sound like an Eastern European.

    Good to see Barca win. Unhappy to see them beat out. They play good football.

    Traitor.

    Should make for a good final, none of that defensive bullshit.

    Maybe because you listened to it on the radio? I don't know.
