That they weren't able to score a goal because Jose/Inter decided to defend the whole second half is another issue. I believe that's why they've brought Zlatan into the team and once he gels with the system he should provide that extra up front against those sort of defensive teams. In saying that, I miss Etoo... I felt that he would have scored those half chances Zlatan missed in that game. Barca will win the UCL again this year. But Barca did play beautifully against Inter.

The first goal came from an appalling header in the midfield by Busquets, and the second came from a horrific clearance by Valdes. By the time the attackers got to the back line, there was precious little the defenders could do, except hope. Just one quibble about the “careless defending at the back” line.
