Player Rating: Inter Milan- FC Barcelona (0-0)

Valdes: 7.5/10. Had some very good saves, was always alert, and spread the ball well. A bit slow on one of the backpasses which nearly gave me a heart attack, but a good game.

Alves: 8/10. Kept at it for the whole game. Was able to do very well defensively, and was in pretty much all of our moves going forward. Good set-up to Keita as well.

Puyol: 7/10. Caught a couple of times for speed, but did very well in terms of positioning.

Pique: 8/10. Same as Puyol. Was caught for speed a couple of times, but his hard running, solid in defence, looks confident as usual, and his good passing going forward were great.

Abidal: 7/10. Defensively very good, especially when Millito was pretty much clear on goal. Also had alot of the ball going forward, nice distribution, and acted as a good release valve.

Yaya: 6.5/10. Great on the ball, but his positioning during Inters counter attacks was very off tonight. Also not his best game going forward either.

Keita: 6/10. Really should have scored the one Dani Alves gave him. Passed well, but he never gave a killer pass or got in position for one either. Wasted a couple of shots too.

Xavi: 8.5/10. I can't remember a single mis-placed pass from him. Was fantastic on the ball, was fantastic attacking the Inter defence, and tracked back well.

Henry: 5.5/10. Dissapointting first half to say the least, but he picked up a little in the second half. Was off the pace for most of the game, although he did have a 10-15 minute pass when he played fantastic, not much else though.

Ibra: 6.5/10. Did well with the ball at his feet, made some very good runs where Xavi almost got him, connected well with Messi, but he did miss a very getable chance in the first half.

Messi: 8.5/10. Kept running, kept attacking, and kept making chances. A couple of great chances as well from outside the area, he was our most dangerous attacking option.

SUBS:

Iniesta: 6.5/10. Didn't do too much, still off the pace, but he did make a couple of good runs. Can't wait till his back to full speed.
