3-4-3 tehcnical team

3-4-3 is a wonderful system but you have to have the players who can work it. They have to be superfit, super confident and super good - which the Barca players all are. It will be a very exciting game. I predict now - Barca to win 3-0.

The question is to break the defence wall of Inter.
But to play with 3 defenders and 3 forwards is quite logical
when you lost 3.1 in the first game.

Correcto Silver,

Guardiola shows his 3-4-3

Alves, Piqué, Touré, Milito, Xavi, Busquets, Keita, Pedro, Messi e Ibrahimovic

Piqué, Touré and Milito and in both sides Alves Touré or Milito, I like this team and Pedro as well by the way from here Tenerife and probably at the National Team in SouthAfrica.

Mourinho continues walking throght the Nou Camp field provocating the audience before the game...

Exactly Too Tough. Barca gotta go for it and that's why I think it will be a great match - hopefully not the irristible force against the immovable object. C'mon Barca.

I am sure Guardiola has studied very well the game as always and he knows how to break that wall/bus of Inter de Milano, by now at the great games, in all of them, technically Guardiola have won all games minus Sevilla in Quarter Finals Copa del Rey this year, they broke Sevilla for each way of the field, the problem or the key at that time was the goalkeeper, Palop.
If they score at the first half, they are gonna win, 100% I am totally convinced!!

Carlitos
Tenerife

Very aggresive and defensive Inter, let´s see toghness they are, Pandez is there beside Motta and the rest, they are gonna be back all the time and long balls to Milito
going to get ready for the macth 15 minutes to go
Hasta La vista everyone!!!
And enjoy the game!!!
VAaaammosss!!!

First yellow card for Motta, I doubt the game will end with 22 players on the field...

Halftime, no goals yet. Ref is clearly on Barca side (I'm neutral here, I don't care who wins) but red card was OK. Mising some fairplay by Barca, Busquets acted like a little girl in that red card situation und they continued playing when Snijder was injured.

Not looking good for Barca. The bus is well and truly parked.

All what is bad about the playing side of a game of football is on show from the home side. Barcelona's play acting / diving is pathetic. Hopefully justice will be served, but no doubt the one sided ref will see them through. C'mon Milan and Jose !

Quite disappointing Barcelona. Against 10...
75% ball possession means nothing if you
don´t know what to do with the ball.

But maybe a goal speeds them up a bit.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

genau richtig--Too Tough

Bye Bye Barca...

Anti-football by Inter but that's the only way they can win

Went the way i suggested earlier in this thread,Mourinho did a job on Barca as Chelsea tried to do last year.Not great to watch but effective and down to 10 men as well

Anther lack of fairplay by Barca, turning on the water while Inter players are sill on the field

On the other hand, Inter's last goal was off-side and this score would have been enough for Barça to go through

Yeah, but that was the fault of the ref

Well Inter will be the absolute favourites. Let's hope Bayern can spring a surprise.

I didn't believe so at the beginning of the tournament but I'm starting to think Inter Milan are looking like a complete outfit. That defensive unit will take a bit of breaking down tho' they need to cut out the wrestling like against Chelsea. Other refs might not be so forgiving. I'm going against popular consensus and plumping for Inter (even tho' I don't have any particular affinity with them).

I stand by my post of a month ago. Inter tonight: Resolute. I would say however both sides had certain injustices handed out to them and Barca made it a scintillating last 10 minutes.

Not the final we may have expected but I still think it'll be great game.

Congratulations italianos and Inter supporters, I am not going to make the typical football lecture about anti football and good football, referees and all of that, if Inter has turned to the Final is because they scored 3 goals and Barcelona 2, that´s the sport.
In my personal opinion a BIG ONE is defeated, FC Barcelona, the goal came very late, they are at limit in physical at this time, too many games and too many competitions.
Today they played fine, the thing was the catteccio and that´s was the only option for the italianos and if you have seen football a lot, you know, you are loosing 90 of 100, today, they risked and they won that´s it.
If you are honest, true honest TELL ME, do you like how the Interistas play or do you defend the kind of Barcelona playing?
In short FC Barcelona was to thick playing football, sometimes too slow, at the left side Milito was a mistake , Guardiola should pick Maxwell when the italianos had 10 and not too much more.
Mourinho show at the end completely ridiculous and deporable, this guy needs a doctor urgently.
Another thing and if I am not saying, explote, my country , Spain, majority the WHOLE media stinks and people who read, listen and watch tv, radios, papers, internet, etc, manipulate and use all the Spanish citizens don´t think too much, that´s way, too many people are happy and please with the victory of Inter, totally terrible and thatá way I am sad. I don´t understand that war between two cities and regions as Madrid and Barcelona (Cataluña), that "war" splash other regions, most of the regions I´d say the whole country and they fight for sutpidities and the other ones the same, completely sad. Right now I can listen and see fireworks and people really happy, why? too much nerds and empty brains...
Again congratulations Inter de Milan
