******************

Team ties - UEFA

• José Mourinho served as an assistant coach at Barcelona from 1996-2000, working under the late Sir Bobby Robson and Louis van Gaal.

• As Chelsea manager Mourinho oversaw a 5-4 aggregate defeat of Barcelona in the 2004/05 first knockout round but suffered a 3-2 defeat over two legs at the same stage the next season. The 2006/07 campaign brought another reunion, this time in the group stage, with Chelsea finishing above Barcelona after a 1-0 home win and 2-2 away draw.

• Eto'o spent five seasons with Barcelona from 2004. The Cameroon striker hit 109 goals in 144 league appearances, including 30 last season. In the UEFA Champions League he registered 18 in 43 games, scoring Barcelona's first goals in the final triumphs of 2006 and 2009.

• Inter winger Ricardo Quaresma spent 2003/04 at the Camp Nou, making 22 Liga appearances and scoring once.

• During his three-year spell at Inter, Ibrahimović hit 57 goals in 88 Serie A appearances and six in 22 UEFA Champions League games.

• Thierry Henry scored twice for former club Arsenal FC in a 5-1 win at Inter in the 2003/04 group stage.

• Former Barcelona forward Jordi Cruyff – son of Camp Nou legend Johan – hit the opening goal for Deportivo Alavés when they became the first, and so far only, team from Spain to beat Inter in Milan, prevailing 2-0 in a UEFA Cup fourth-round tie in 2000/01.

FC Barcelona need to win this game and they will.
Last time was disappointing 0-0 game, but this time it will be different ! At NOU camp everything is possible !!! Can't wait!!
I say 2-1 for barcelona !!! 1 Ibrahimovic 1 Messi how about that haha

This game would have been oh so much different (and favorable for us) but for Inter first leveling, then going up over Dynamo - after being down a goal for most of the match. Had Inter lost or drawn they'd be the ones needing a win, as it is we do (need the win) and Jose Mourhino will park the bus...

I still think we win but it is now a much harder thing, as they have little to lose playing for a tie, and we really need points to ensure we advance. All that said, if we draw this game (not trying to jinx us) then win in Ukraine, we likely still advance, but let's just win this and face much breezier game 6 scenario.

I forgot that the "Special One" might park the bus. I haven't seen much of Inter to know how good their defense is, but we will have our chances. We had chances against Rubin and we didn't put them away, maybe this time will be different.

If we need to make a sub, I want us to do so by minute 60 or 65. This is such a crucial match for us. Everyone needs to be on point, and needs to be fresh. I have a feeling that Iniesta will have a major role in the outcome.

Guys, what do you think of this picture? What do you want to see improved? Please give me some feedback...

[NattyBo]

Maybe you should have an Inter player on the right side under the logo instead of a Barça player, otherwise it's fine

[Juanele]

I like the picture but NattyBo is right, need to have an Inter player on the right side in order to have some sort of balance.

[Mosco]

Man o man I can't wait for this game next Tuesday I hope Messi dribbles like a madman
through the bunker that Milan will put up. Is Eto gonna be back for Inter for this one?
