After making a total mess of there champions league group by only taking one point out of three in the last group matchs, Internazionale of milan were in the lowest seeded teams for the last 16 of the champions league.and thus knew that they would face a group winner and play the first leg of the tie at home.
and who do they get? the champions of england,europe and more than likely the world (when they win the micky mouse club cup in japan this weekend) manchester united.
should inter win this then work will be fun as well over half of the department i work in suport manchester, lose and it will be a nightmare.
to be honest after liverpool this was the tie i didnt want. i hate to say it but man utd are the favourates.however i thaught we would walk over liverpool last year and we all know what happened there.(liverpool also played the home game first so thats a good sign) on paper inter have nothing to fear the squads are evenly matched, we are champions three times running and 6 points clear of juventus and 9 clear of thoses tossers in nasty red and black strips, the more i think about it actualy the more i think inter can do it! jose record against ferguson is 6-1 in favour of the special one. if we are going to win the champions league we have to beat the best, so lets play them now!
looking at it it doesnt appear to make much differance if you win the group or not, manchester win there group and have to face the current champions of italy, liverpools "reward" for winning there group is a match with the 9 times champions of europe real madrid. arsenal finish up 2nd but have an easier tie in my eyes by drawing AS roma who are having a poor season this time around in serie A !
