The Champions League: unexpected win for Inter and a dramatic victory for Bayern

The two days of the Champions League were very dramatic. Bayern won with 1:0 with a shot of Robben and a lucky head of Muller that gave the dangerous trajectory. Barcelona had a very difficult game that wasn't expected and lost the game with 3:1. The first match was played in Italy where Inter were obviously the better team. Barcelona didn't have a chance to prove themselves and the result showed it. Messi as well as Xavi was unable to perform many good attacks, because Inter were very powerful in defence and didn't allow him to get the ball very often. In the 19th minute Pedro Rodriges scored for Barcelona and the answer from Inter came only 11 minutes after it. The goal was scored by Wesley Sneijder. After the first halftime Micon scored and right after him scored Diego Milito. During the match in Spain Barcelona have to socre 2 goals to classify for the finals, but Inter will make sure to meet Bayern on the last stage. The other game was played on Wednessday 21 April. Bayern played against Lyon in a very dramatic game with 2 red cards. Ribery made a foul that was thought to be very dangerous and received a red card and had to leave the stadium in the first half. Bayern managed to hold the situation and the miracle came when Toulalan received 2 yellow cards in 4 minutes and the number of playes was equal in both teams. After this Robben scored again a perfect goal that made the result clear. Muller was in a very lucky position and his head barely touched the ball, but he managed to send it so that it is impossible to be saved. The final result in Germany was 1:0 and Lyon have a very good chance to classify, but still probably Bayern will classify for the finals.
