God Barca were poor.

Lucio - a monster at the back yet again, I'd love to sign him.

Even up? You talk as though it was the wrong decision. Barca had pretty bad luck with the refs over both ties, the offside goal, the penalty on Alves and now the handball on Toure.

Inter through, it should be interesting to see them play Bayern. Bayern aren't all that despite being in the final, they have two massive players in Ribery and Robben, Inter can keep them shut but they'll have to play in the one off final, they should win but van Gaal is no mug.

Ribery has a 3 game ban and i can't see it being overturned. As for evening up the game with the handball i think it made up for Piques goal that was offside

Really? Why?

Babel only got one game for his straight red IIRC.

Inter were almost unbreakable, no matter who Barca played, they wouldn't have broken through Inter, it's near impossible to get through so many players playing so deep. Lucio is a top player, as is Samuel. Cambiasso is another good player, should be interesting to see if Maradona picks him for the world cup, he's been poor for Argentina for a while and doesn't seem to be better than what they already have. I'd take him and play him centre back with Samuel, their defenders are poor!

UEFA deemed his red card to be serious foul play but they have appealed.

As for Babel it was just another instance of UEFA bending over backwards to help out Liverpool

I see.

I wish the premier league would bend over backwards for us and let us sign an 'emergency' striker.

"fixed"

It's funny how Citeh can have an international keeper at the club but he's not ready for the permier league. How come we wern't allowed to bring in emergency players when we had Fletcher and Carrick covering in defence this season?

Did that "handball" even up the red card decision? That was ball to hand if anything.

Without the ball hitting the Barca player's hands, the ball would've been 30m upfield. There's just no way on earth that sides deserve to get decision when the ball hits their hands and falls for them.

Correct decision IMO. But I'm surprised that the ref actually gave it.
