Internazionale beat FC Barcelona yesterday, 3-1. Does Barcelona still have a chance to get to the Champions League finals?
I saw yesterday's match, and was very impressed with Internazionale, who scored three times against Barcelona, who were quite disappointing, even though they started an offensive late in the game, trying to score a second away-goal.
Did Barcelona deserve a penalty for the charge by Sneijder against Daniel Alves? Do you think the 3-1 score was a fair representation of the balance of power between the two?

Inter did well in the first leg, 3 scores from 4 shots on goal is an amazing rate, but unlikely to be repeated. Losing Puyol to suspension is a big blow, but he was suspended for last years semi with Chelsea aswell. Regardless, he is not the player this season that he was last year. I'd like to see Toure Yaya fill in at the back with Pique, keeping Alves and Abidal as the outside backs.
I don't think Dani Alves deserved a penalty, but I also don't think he deserved the caution. I think his reputation preceded him in this case, forcing the referee's hand. Overall I think all of Inter's goals were well taken and Barca deserved to lose. However, I don't think they will be so fortunate in front of goal in the return leg. I predict Barca winning 2-0 and going through thanks to Pedro's away goal.
