Yeah, anti-football indeed, they didn't even attempt to play football, they were gunning for back-heels, and rolled over on every occasion.
But #1 roll-over is Busquets though, what a fuckin lil bitch..
I don't even know if I will despise Inter for their 10-11 men behind the ball anti-football, rolling over and wasting time all the time, or...
if I'm gonna praise them for a near flawless defensive game, engineered by the tactical genius that is Jose Mourinho.. if a football team defends poorly, this is the game they should watch 10 times over and over, it was like a brick-wall back there, it was "How to defend a lead - advanced edition".
Lunatic:
I hate Italian clubs and Italian football but Lol at some of these responses.
They have a two goal lead in Spain and get a man sent off (who should have never been sent off anyways) less than half an hour in...what do u expect them to do? Put on a 3-4-3 formation and attack attack attack? They played absolute beautiful defense. The fact that Barca had a man advantage at home and couldn't score until 83 minutes in is quite impressive on Inter's part.
Y'all talkin' about the goal blown off for Barca near the end? It was a clear hand ball and the ref made the right decision.
Lol at "rolled over on every occasion" - I'd say Barca's attempts to win a penalty (plenty diving) was way worse than any Inter diving antics this match.
This was beautiful, flawless defense and change of tactic/strategy by a wonderful coach, Jose Mourinho.
Go on Inter, they deserved it and they will beat Bayern.
K.Dub:
Nobody should be praised for playing the way Inter played today.

Beautiful defense? Those two words does not match.
Handball? What's Touré suppose to do when he clearly got shot in the hand/arm at close range. That's not a handball.
Lunatic:
It was flawless defense. This is different imo than a team just parking the team bus behind the ball. A team like Barca (especially a player like Messi) can normally break this down, they had no answer today for Inter's defense - Lucio was especially phenomenal, shutting down Messi time and time again.
That handball was a good call imo. I understand the rules but I feel this was still the right call to make.
Jome:
Sorry Luna, but the more I read your opinions about Football, the more I think you should stick with hockey.. no offense. :P
You're talking like Inter actually tried to attack before they got a red card, but on the contrary they played the same anti-football, and was more interested in chopping down Barca-players, and chopping the game up, they basically tried to kill the game to avoid any football being played.. "rolled over on any occasion" holds weight, Lucio, Chivu, Maicon, and a couple of others went down how many times? Did they need any medical assistance, or did they even limp or get an actual knock?
Dani Alves & Busquets are both a disgrace with their diving antics, but Inter was even worse.. (except it didn't get anybody sent off).. and it was so cynical as well, it was perfectly timed each time Barca started to get the ball rolling..
And like K-Dub said, that's not a handball, he had the hand in front of his stomach.. but many refs will make that call, I've seen worse decisions.
The only thing I agree with you, is that it was a perfect defensive showcase by Inter, masterminded by Mourinho.. but don't tell me they tried to play football today.
