Austin said it best with his first post serveral weeks back, Jose Mourinho is the best manager in the world. He has proven once again with this special job he's done with this Inter Milan team. The club has brought in the Portuguese man to win the Champions League and now he stands one game within reach of the final after knocking off Barcelona 3-1 in Italy in the first leg, something they have not had a sniff of in ages. Inter has not been in the finals sicne they repeated as champions in 1965.
Standing in front of the Italian champions is only the greatest team in world football today, club or country - Barcelona. The Blaugrana won a mere six trophies last season and are trying to become the first team to repeat in 20 years since AC Milan won in both 1989 and 1990. You have to bet your ass that Pep Guardiola will do anything and everything to get his Argentine playmaker as much space as possible all over the pitch to make up for the two-goal deficit.
The game is at the Nou Camp, if you like drama this is your game. Many of the best players in the world will be on the pitch including to the two Milito brother, I've got goose bumps. We're 5 minutes away.
