Inter-Barca, shock dull

Even in the antrum of Inter Milan, FC Barcelona has managed to dominate the Italian champions. With Messi already glittering with Ibrahimovic but awkward for his return to Giuseppe Meazza, the winner of the Champions League was held in check by the formation of José Mourinho (0-0) Wednesday in the 1st round of group F. Nerazzurri Blaugrana and the difference will certainly face the other two teams, Dynamo Kiev and Rubin Kazan. Meanwhile, Ukrainians are leading 3-1 after beating the Russians. Match

0-0, it was almost expected. Strangely ... Huge scheduled clash in the opening group phase of the Champions League, the Inter-Barca disappointed by his show, even if the winner of the last edition has demonstrated its ability to dominate the Italian league without the prevail. In group F, the two courses should make the difference against Rubin Kazan and Dynamo Kiev, the current leader after his success (3-1) on the Russians.

The European Zlatan ...

Obviously booed in his return to Meazza, where he regaled assistance for three seasons, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has struggled to be really dangerous, despite the domination of his own. Lionel Messi, well supported by the trident of the medium (up Wednesday by Xavi, Toure and Keita), was a fire in the legs and knocked the premises. The Argentinian tried his hand once (2nd) of the edge of the area but fell over Julio Cesar. The Brazilian great porter was also vigilant on the head of the "Pulga" (9th).

Half an hour of play later, while discussions were rebalanced, Messi showed his box to start Alvès full surface whose center was set back by Keita. Above (41th). The Blaugrana (orange) were higher, could pass over the wings to center around a "Ibra" too vague in his gestures, but could not find the fault. It was not for lack of trying to combine perfectly with the other side, but Thierry Henry (owner like Eric Abidal) was not a good day, missing his last pass. And when the French part of the left and Ibrahimovic Alves countered the ball (72).

Inter is content

In fact, the Nerazzurri responded sporadically. They were threatening with Diego Milito, Samuel Eto'o could not find a way of abusing his former teammates. While Maicon had awakened his own (12th), Argentina, passed by the Liga (Zaragoza), forced Valdes to first stop (29th). Sneijder The playmaker chosen by Mourinho for the occasion (Stankovic relegated to the bench with Vieira), also tried his luck from outside the area, with a shot grazing the far post (47th). At the outset, Milito left alone against the opposing defense, which allowed Stankovic (entered in place of Muntari in the 62nd), just take over (66th).

Barça was blocked and the Inter merely the tie looming. Iniesta Guardiola launched (instead of Henry) in the last quarter of an hour, Mourinho fulfilling a defensive change with the entry of young defender Santon instead of Sneijder. The clash of titans programmed during the first day ended on a logically goalless and rather tasteless in the end. Even Balotelli, entered for the last 5 minutes instead of Milito, will not give up a final for Inter, who certainly has not made a provision of the highest caliber in the Champions League.
