Inter 2 - 1 Chelsea
The match was very good and very tactical at the same time. Two great tactical genius who won't compromise on their way of playing, came at loggerheads and their team played out an absorbing European spectacle. While Inter were all full of running and created most of the chances but Chelsea were somewhat subdued but they did all their running in the mid field and rarely threatened in the area which counts. Samuel and Lucio had a brilliant game and kept Drogba under wraps, reminded me of Vidic's job in the final.
This leg is delicately poised and one never know how Inter would perform at Stanford Bridge as Chelsea are in a habit of steam-rolling opposition in their backyard.
Mourinho actually brought on an attacking player for a defensive bloke, when Inter got the goal. One can only admire the courage of The One.
I just loved the way the fans reacted to every attack and movement of their players.
"Everybody in Italy wants Inter to lose" comment by Ancelotti back-fired. Showing respect to a worthy opponent is not a cowardly act.
