Julio Cesar: 7 – He may have only had four shots to save, and on one of them he was beaten by Pique, but his command of the area throughout was superb. Regularly, he was forced to come and punch, or claim crosses, as Barca laid siege to his goal.
Maicon: 8 – Another superb showing in Europe from the big right-back, whose market price must have gone through the roof during Inter’s run to the final. Worked tirelessly at the back, whilst also supplying a decent percentage of the Nerazzurri’s completed passes in their rare forays into Barca territory.
Lucio: 7.5 – The Brazilian gets better and better on European nights. A colossus in the air once more as he saw off Ibrahimovic for a second week running, whilst also throwing himself in the way of countless attempted throughballs.
Samuel: 8 – Another heroic effort from the Argentine, regularly getting in vital blocks and tackles as Messi and Ibrahimovic tried to exploit his side of the back four with regularity. He put in a couple of outstanding challenges on Messi which will be worth playing back to his grandkids in years to come.
Zanetti: 7.5 – The heroic captain was at the top of his game once more as he led his battered and bruised troops through a traumatic 90 minutes. Who could deny that this man deserves to lift a Champions League trophy before his career finally comes to a close?
Cambiasso: 7 – Another fantastic defensive display up against Lionel Messi, he was the base around which Inter built the gameplan that has led them to the Champions League final.
Thiago Motta: 5 – His night was a short one, and his red card means his participation on May 22 will be ever shorter. Though a straight red may have been harsh, it was reckless in the least for him to be waving his arms around when already on a yellow card. Left his side short-handed for over an hour, but luckily they got away with it.
Chivu: 6.5 – For a man who was thrown in less than 15 minutes before kick-off, he stood up to the challenge superbly, regularly becoming a fifth or sixth defender to help keep the red and blue hoards away from the Inter goal.
Sneijder: 6.5 – Got through a huge amount of hard work in midfield, and also held onto the ball as well as anyone to give his side’s defensive players a rest between the waves of attacks Barca were subjecting them to for the most part.
Eto’o: 6.5 – Rarely can the Cameroonian have put in such a committed performance without hardly seeing the ball. His teamwork has shone through at times this season, but he outdid himself tonight as he constantly drove forward on rare attacks and immediately sat in in midfield when needed as defensive cover.
Milito: 6.5 – The one player Inter cannot do without was asked to put in yet another display of real heroism, until finally running out of legs late on. Jose Mourinho will just wish he could wrap him in cotton wool between now and May 22, but he is desperately needed for Inter’s challenges for two other trophies.
Subs:
Muntari: 6 – Replaced Sneijder to provide fresh legs in Inter’s bid to hold on, and provided a decent disciplined effort in his 25 minutes on the pitch.
Cordoba: NA
Mariga: NA
