Inter crush Barcelona at San Siro
Jose Mourinho’s
Inter stunned defending champions, Barcelona 3-1 to move closer to the
final of the UEFA Champions League. Goals from Wesley Sneijder, Maicon
and Diego Milito cancelled out Pedro Rodriguez’s 19th minute goal which
had put Barcelona ahead and suggested that the Catalan team was poised
to run away with an away victory.
The loss is Barcelona’s first defeat since February this year and
the heaviest defeat inflicted on the Spanish and world champions since
2009. This result certainly endangers Barcelona’s hope of retaining the
trophy it won last season. Coach Pep Guardiola and his boys need to dig
really deep to beat Inter at least 2-0 in the return match to have any
hope of playing in the final.
