UEFA Champions League again tonight dont miss it, with Barca vs Inter Milan in the first leg of the semi-final – should be a cracking game! The FC Barcelona team had to travel 14 hours by bus to get to the San Siro.  Due to flight restrictions, because of the volcano ash cloud over Europe, which is not the best preparation for a big football game.  But Barca are not title holders for no reason.

Will Messi have another game like he did against Arsenal in the Champions League quarter finals?  Watch his four goals here… what a messi he made of Arsenal!!

José Mourinho the FC Internazionale Milano coach, has been talking up his team ahead of the big match, saying Barca are a stronger team than when the two teams met in the earlier group stages of the UEFA Champions League.

Keep a look out for Messi for Barcelona, the Inter defense will have to close him out.  But then again if Inter focus all their attention on one player, there are plenty of others within the Barca team who can score.

Apparently the FC Barcelona team watched a video of the movie Invictus whist on the coach trip.  Invictus is a Clint Eastwood film about the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa, where the South African team won against the odds.  A good inspirational movie to watch, chosen by Barca coach, Josep Guardiola who has been known to use this tactic before to inspire his players before big games.  Last year he used the film Gladiator for the Champions League final against Man U… what will it be this year if Barcelona get through?
