Manchester had it in their power to destroy Inter, but thanks to their strikers off night and Inter’s brilliant Julio Cesar this match will be decided at Old Trafford. A 0-0 result is too close to call but if Inter failed to attack in their own home soil, then what makes us think that they will burst into Old Trafford looking to score? Mourinho may have his positive history against Manchester, but I’m pretty sure I know how this story will end.
At this point I think there is a 80% chance of Manchester United going to the next round.
Inter starts off the year with a surprise draw to Cagliari at the Stadio Meazza. Thanks to Zlatan Ibrahimovic Inter managed to scrape a point in a match where Cagliari were much closer to taking all three golden points. Inter owned Roberto Aquafresca scored to take the lead and also could have scored the goal to finish Inter off, but he somehow managed to miss it. And a common rule in football is that if you do not score the other team will, and that was the case. Still, I cannot be to harsh on the 21 year old for he has shown great improvement and played well against the club that made him. On the other hand, Inter’s overall performance should be of concern to interista’s, but to the rossoneri it is exactly what they want to see. Thanks to Cagliari the race for the scudetto should be wide open if only Juve and Milan can take advantage of it. Hopefully Milan will this Sunday against Roma. It won’t be easy but this is their chance to gain some ground. So let the downfall of the Inter Empire begin!
