Great defensive performance all round for Inter too, Lucio read the game very well as Inter were caught on the counter and provided blocks, both Samuel and Cesar were solid, they saved the team on a few ocassions with their crucial blocks as Malouda looked certain to score. Maicon was really sound going forward using Zhirkovs poor positional play to his advantage and defensively he did well to keep Malouda at bay, very experienced performance, especially at disrupting the player link up with Malouda and Zhirkov and shielded the ball well to earn his side throw ins. Motta did very well aggrevating the Chelsea players.
Very good performance from Zanetti too, showed why he is captain and even though didn't go forward much (36 year old, you wouldn't expect him too) he was really confident and was key in keeping discipline in his side. Best tactical performance from Mourinho, as he rightly said everything was superior today, coming to Chelsea's turf winning and not conceding yet keeping possession at 50% for most parts of the game, attacking from the start and dominating the midfield.
Madrid will be kicking themselves for letting Sneijder go. Inter will prove to be tough opponents should they face Barca, especially if they could replicate such a balanced performance.
