Coppa Italia: Inter in the Finals awaiting Roma- Udinese2

After the 2-2 blow suffered by Inter from a brave Fiorentina side last Saturday in the Serie A, Mourinho's men did not show any sign of crisis even though the Nerazzurri lost the top spot and certainty for winning the tittle.Wesley Sneijder, Diego Milito and Cambiasso were  not present on the starting line-up for the Coppa Italia semifinal second leg. Surely due to their extremely delicate fixtures, playing Juventus on Friday and Barcelona in the 1st leg of the Champions league semifinal the coming Tuesday. Inter still active on all three fronts seem to have done their duty this time.

After their 1-0 victory at home in the first leg, Inter showed personality and experience which now seems to be a part of the Inter DNA unlike earlier times. On Tuesday the 13th, the Stadium Artemio Franchi of Fiorentina welcomed the second leg with great expectations and hopes to qualify for the Finals firstly to mark the first achievement under the Della Valle- Prandelli- Corvino influence and secondly to secure a qualification for the Uefa European cup next season.

Champions League


What an exciting week it has been for the soccer fans! All the champions league results are finally out, some of the fans are partying to glory while others are biting their nails for the missed qualification to the quarter final phase. Some great results came out. On one side Real Madrid have been knocked out of the competition and on the other hand teams like Cska Mosca have passed the stage. How can we forget the 4-0 thrashing given to Ac Milan by the red devils at home and the perfect match played by Inter Milan to knock Chelsea out from Stamford bridge itself.

This is soccer mates....you cannot rely on any score, the best team is not always the winner, all we can guess before the game begins, is that the ball is round and there are 22 lions in the field hungry for a result with supporters in the stadium and around, hoping to see their team win. The supporters in the stadium wearing their favorite player's shirts coming from all over the world, the cook in the restaurant carelessly frying the vegetables not taking his eyes off the screen, the married man stuck on his couch at home not helping his wife to clear up the plates, the mother scolding her children to get over with their homework before seen the game.... how many times will we see these scenes again and again and again. This is a fact. No one can ever change how certain things go. When passion and dreams come together..with hopes at stake,fantasies running all over your mind the time just comes to a halt.

Here are all the Champions league results of both home and away games!
