This is what our players had to say about the Champions League game last night against Inter Milan that ended in 0 – 0 draw. Views of Ibrahimovic, Iniesta, Victor Valdes, Dani Alves and Gerad Pique follow –

The Game dubbed as the Biggest Match of the season till now, ended up as a Drab 0 – 0 draw thanks to some very uninspiring tactics by Jose Mourinho and his Inter team that again refused to play football and was happy defending its territory for the full 90 minutes even though the Match was at its Home Ground. Barcelona did have enough chances to put the game to rest with Ibra, Keita and Messi missing chances you do not expect them to. For Inter Sneijder came the closest to breaking the deadlock.

Although the Champions League is just beginning, and it’s much too soon to talk about who’s leading the group, Carles Puyol told reporters on Tuesday afternoon: “It’s important to start with a win”.

Pep Guardiola knows that Barca’s game against Inter Milan is going to be their most difficult challenge so far this season. Going to San Siro is never easy and going there to play an excellent squad under a Manager of Jose Mourinho’s class only adds to the difficulties. Barça begin the defence of their CL title this Wednesday in the Giuseppe Meazza( Its the same San Siro, Called by this name when Inter play here ) and Josep Guardiola is aware that his team will have to play well if they want to win:

“It’ll be a tough test, a very difficult match. Inter have a lot of strength. They’re strong in all aspects. We’ll have to play a complete match”.

The Hunt For The Holy Grail Begins Again

And the Champions League draw has again proved the existence of a Footballing God or how do you explain the fact that the Swap Deal Of the Decade involving the 2 Best Strikers In the World end up facing their former clubs in a matter of a Month? And that too on the argubly biggest platform to showcase your talent – UEFA Champions League. So words have been spoken by both the sides ( Well obviously more form the Inter side considering they have Mourinho as their Manager who has even influenced his players to talk more to the Media than on the Pitch ), The Stage is Set ( San Siro is almost the best alternative to the Camp Nou ) and the swords have been drawn! Let The Battle Begin! Full Match Preview follows –

Seriously What The Hell is wrong with all these Inter Players! First Mancini, then Materazzi and now Sulley Muntari! These people just cannot stop taking pot shots at their now-departed-to-The Best-Club-In-The-World former Team mate – Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Really fail to understand what the the problem here is. Is it just plain jealousy that Barca choose to bring in Zlatan in their ranks rather than one of these because I am sure they would have jumped ships at the first chance to play for the European Champions.
