UEFA Champions League and First day of a new Term

New Term


Finally , eatser vacation was over  and final term of MBA started. It was 9 am lecture. Unusual time as a month ago , 9 am was the time when i used to be in deep sleep . I had  a nice day  from 9 am to 5 pm in the college. Good start to new term and hope to have nice weeks ahead in this term.


Champions League Semi final - Barca V/S Inter Milan

Long college Hours ( for a month or so not used to 9 AM to 5 PM lecture) , decided to catch  UEFA semi final at near by sports bar. After having wonderful dinner at Chinese restaurant with couple of friends  we headed to near by sports bar to watch Barca play Inter.

Big expectation , Big match , lots of hype before the match began. Barcelona , defending champion playing against Inter milan in milan . Barcelona were high on confidence after thrashing win over arsenal in quarter final with superlative performance by Meesi, perhaps best player on the planet right now. On the hand, Inter defeated Man U from goal behind at old Traford in quarter final , was ready to go at their home ground.

Match started as both side evenly matched and high expectations from No 10 Messi. As match began, Inter took control of  match even Barcelona scored first goal at 19 min, Inter look tea who was dominating them. They scored equalizer in 34 min . first half 1-1. Second half, Inter scored two more goals and were more dominant side on the field. Barcelona lacked in defense, and could not manage play through midfield.



Messi was out of sort through out the match. 1 shot on the goal in 90 min of play that tells all the story. Final score line Inter 3 Barcelona 1. The result gives Barca a mountain to climb in the second leg in Catalonia next Wednesday as they seek to become the first team since AC Milan in 1990 to defend their European title.. 12 hrs road travel (cause of ASH cloud)  might have taken  toll on them too.

Hope they come back well at home match.
