In order to witness Inter Milan take on the cosmos team Barcelona, Inter Milan fans gathered from all over the world to the fashion capital Milan three days ago, and by April 20, the city has been flocked to more than 60,000 foreign fans.

The Meazza Stadium can only accommodate 85,000 people, and if you count the local Italian fans, at least 10,000 of the 60,000 fans from outside the stadium do not have tickets, but this does not hinder the enthusiasm of the fans, many of whom want to be closer to the players even if they can't get into the stadium.

With the revival of Inter Milan, in recent seasons, the fathers of the era of Inter Milan such as Suarez, Corso and others will come to the scene to watch the games of Inter Milan in the knockout stage of the Champions League, but whether it is against a strong team or a weak team, Inter Milan has returned home, which makes Inter Milan's veterans very disappointed.

After beating Rubin Kazan in the final round of the group stage this season, Inter Milan's Champions League record equalled the Grand International's record in Europe, set between September 1963 and March 1964, and then equalled three times between April 1964 and February 1965, March to August 1998 and October to December 2007, but it was never beaten.

As the saying goes, although Inter Milan's opponent this time is the mighty Barcelona, Inter Milan celebrities believe that Inter Milan can break the Champions League winning streak set in 46 years this time.

Speaking to Inter Milan captain, Luis Suarez, said: "Jose Mourinho's side's victories over Chelsea and CSKA were convincing and there is a clear belief that Inter will have a good season this season compared to the performances of the team over the past few seasons. Of course, the semi-finals will be tougher for the team, but I'm sure the lads are ready and that's always the case with the Champions Cup, and when you can beat a lot of big teams, you'll be able to take the trophy into your pocket. ”

Inter Milan legendary goalscorer Boningseni told Roma Sport: "I will go to the scene to support the team, the game against Barcelona needs to revolve around Gao Xiaodong and Etoodor, if Gao Xiaodong gets enough support and gives full play to his ability, he can play a role that can completely overwhelm Messi." There is no doubt that Gao Xiaodong is the source of Inter's victory. ”

Legendary striker Altobelli, nicknamed "Pin", also believes that Messi is not so scary. "Barcelona has a really strong squad and Messi has been doing well lately, but Inter don't need to be afraid of him, Cambiasso and Lucio will have enough ways to limit his intersperse. In terms of overall strength, Inter is stronger than Barcelona in individual links, so Barcelona plays Inter, and both sides have half of the chance of winning, and Barcelona may not have a greater chance of winning. ”

Sandro Mazzola, a witness to the glory days of the big international and now a Sky Sports commentator, said: "It was not easy for Inter to return to the semi-finals after seven years, and it shows that the team's work has finally paid off. I think the game with Barcelona will be 5-5, Inter is not without worries, now Inter has changed very much from the beginning of the season, especially after seeing Inter kill Barcelona's nemesis Chelsea, they will be Barcelona's most feared opponents. In addition, the encounters in the group stage have also made Mourinho fully understand Barcelona, and for a coach of his level, he will have sufficient countermeasures after knowing the opponent, and he will bring us the best results. ”

Finally, the four great names of the international era have all said that they will go to the Meazza Stadium to support Inter Milan in making new history.

Amid the frenzied influx of fans into Milan, Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola attended UEFA's pre-match press conference together.

Due to the fact that the two sides tore their faces during the war of words in front, the two were expressionless when they met, but only shook hands symbolically, and neither looked at anyone more.

Jose Mourinho was the first to speak, telling fans and journalists that Inter Milan were fully ready for the game, "We can say that Inter's history in the Champions League has completely changed. It's a team that's mentally different from what it's used to be, with confidence and quality. Now we are an Inter Milan in the Champions League. Regardless of the semi-final result, Inter Milan will be confident heading into next season's Champions League. Even if we don't win this year, Inter will win the Champions League in the next few years. ”

"We are the only team in Europe that still has a chance to win the league, cup and Champions League treble. It's a different Inter team than we've ever had, but now we want to win more. All my players deserve a round of applause. ”

'I never think about a winning streak, that's not interesting, we only have two dreams now: one is to reach the final of the Champions League and the other is to win the Champions League. Personally, this is the fourth time I've led my team to the semi-finals of the Champions League. I've won once, once on penalties and once on a goal that wasn't a goal. Now let's wait and see this time. ”

Pep Guardiola said very little and directly provoked Mourinho.

'It's a tough game, the opponents are strong, they have good players in every position, especially the defense is very solid, the counter-attack is sharp, we have to be in the best form if we want to beat them, but we believe that as long as Inter don't put on a bucket, the win will be ours. ”

But Mourinho was not fooled, he just sneered and sarcastically said: "Some coaches have a lot of power, they not only interfere with UEFA's referees, but also guide opponents' style of play, I don't think such coaches should be coaches, they should run for UEFA president." ”

Guardiola was dumbfounded by Mourinho's words, and he felt that he could not compare with Mourinho verbally, so he simply kept silent and let Mourinho sing a one-man show alone.

After the pre-match press conference, Inter Milan had their final training session at the Pinettina training base in the afternoon, before the team rushed to the Meazza Stadium by bus.

At this moment, the surroundings of the Meazza Stadium have become a sea of blue and black, and there are nera groups wearing blue and black jerseys and blue and black scarves everywhere, and the red and blue of Barcelona are like waves in the ocean, and the Meazza Stadium has become an island in the blue ocean.

There were so many fans that the stadium had opened three hours earlier, allowing fans to enter early.

An hour before the start of the game, the stands were full, but the roads leading to the Meazza Stadium were still flooded with fans.

"The last ticket, the last ticket!"

"Do you want a ticket? I have a ticket here!"

"Tickets, tickets

……

Scammers and scalpers are holding tickets and shouting hoarsely, hoping to make a small fortune by rubbing the heat of the game, and some of the Nella groups who came from afar will be suspicious, but the crazy love for Inter Milan still blinds their brains, many people still paid for sky-high tickets, some really entered the stadium, but there are also fans who bought fake tickets sold by scammers, where they shouted angrily and looked for scammers everywhere.

With 30 minutes to go, the stadium was almost full, and there were very few ordinary fans entering, except for some football celebrities and celebrities who entered the stadium sporadically, and their arrival also caused a commotion and cheers from the fans from time to time.

At 8:30 p.m., the warm-up players walked back to the dressing room, leaving only the substitutes still playing on the sidelines, and 10 minutes later, 22 key players came out of the dressing room again under the leadership of Portuguese referee Ben Renca, and the third game of the season between Inter Milan and Barcelona also kicked off.
