FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Two days after my Pens break their 16 game point streak, my beloved Inter Milan squanders a 1 goal lead TWICE(!!) to Valencia, the 2nd of which came with 4 minutes left in regulation. The 2-2 tie, and more importantly 2 "away" goals scored by Valencia, pretty much means Inter MUST win in the rematch at Valencia in 2 weeks (Tuesday, March 6th 3:00 EST).
Estaban Cambiasso (above) and Maicon got the 2 Inter goals, and from what I hear, stud Argentinian striker Hernan Crespo missed an opportunity to make it a 2 goal game.
Inter coach Roberto Mancini says to fear not...they "will win in Valencia." I feel much better now.
In other Champions League action, big props go out to Liverpool, who took down Barcelona, 2-1 on the road (this game, I actually saw thanks to tape delay on ESPN Classic). Liverpool took advantage of some sloppy defensive work by Mexican defender Marquez (what were you thinking, dude?!?!), and merely needs to pull out a draw back home in England in 2 weeks to advance.
In honor of Inter's 1st round opponent, I give you:
