Source: Inter.itInter won 2-0 against Rubin Kazan at the San Siro to qualify for the knockout phases of the Champions League. Fiorentina beat an awful Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield to spectacularly win their group.
Watching Inter in the Champions League reminds me of an Alfred Tennesse novel - you always expect a sad, tragic ending. Though tonight's game was more like a Scorcese thriller with Russian mobsters running wild. The Nerazzuri performed very well against Kazan to book their place to the next stages.
Mourinho started the game with an attacking trident of Milito,Eto'o and Balotelli. Balotelli was sporting yet another new hairdo, no wonder he is late for training, he has his hair to take care of.
And the stupid hair seemed to have worked well for him as he setup Inter's first with a clever back heel to Eto'o who scored in the UCL after an eternity. Inter finished the half stronger and seemed to be well in control of the game.
But after half-time the team tried its best to let the Russians back into the game. Kazan however were playing roulette with their chances and missed all of them. '
Whacky hairdo' came to Inter's rescue once again as he scored a scorcher of a freekick which keeper Ryzhikov completely misjudged. Maybe he thought it was a stray American missile and tried to get as far away as possible.
It was all Inter from there as Kazan continued to waste any opportunities they had and were lucky not to concede another. The win saw Inter go through in second spot behind Barcelona.
Fiorentina And Their Miraculous Run
If someone had told me that Fiorentina would top their group, I would have given the person some cash to help his mental rehabilitation. Now the lunatic from Arkham Asylum must be doing cartwheels on the bed he has been strapped on and laughing at me.
Fiorentina's win over Liverpool displayed once again how bad a side the Merseysiders have become. If Rafa Benitez was the manager of an Italian club he would have been fired by now... TWICE.
The Reds were outplayed once again and this time it was in front of their touted Kop. They withered a number of chances for Fiorentina and found themselves surprisingly ahead when Benayon glanced Gerrard's cross into the top corner.
Fiorentina came back strongly after the half and Gilardino setup Jorgensen for the equalizer. Fernando Torres made his umpteenth return from an injury in a bid to inject some creativity into his team.
But it was like putting a braindead person on a ventilator only prolonging his 'death' for a while. Fiorentina finally buried Liverpool when Gilardino capitalized on Stupid Darby's mistake.
The win gave Fiorentina top spot in their group and means that they will have a considerably easy draw for the knockouts. Liverpool now have the UEFA Europa League to look forward to where they will come up against the likes of Juventus.
