Barcelona are an absolute rival.

Last season, Inter Milan, who did not have Lu Wenbin, eliminated Barcelona over two legs to advance to the final, but when Barcelona played away in the first leg, it was affected by volcanic ash over Europe.

Because I couldn't take a plane, Barcelona came to Italy by long-distance bus to play an away game, and the journey was tiring, so I lost 0-2 neatly and lost the opportunity.

In the second leg, he returned to Camp Nou, and was directly killed by Mourinho's bus bucket formation, only winning 1-0 and losing to Inter Milan with an aggregate score of 1-2 over the two legs.

Speaking of which, there was a lot of luck in Inter Milan's 2-1 aggregate win over two legs to advance to the final last season.

This season, Inter Milan introduced Lu Wenbin, and he has indeed shown a great increase in strength, with three fronts going hand in hand, and there are signs of attacking the treble.

But considering that many of Inter Milan's main players such as Lucio and Zanetti are one year older and their physical functions are declining, the strength growth brought by Lu Wenbin is actually not so terrifying.

There are several games in the league in which Lu Wenbin started and lost, as evidenced by this.

On the Barcelona side, under Pep Guardiola's careful tuning for several years, the team's Tiki-Taka passing and control skills have reached their peak.

Most of the time, Barcelona will have more than twice as much possession as their opponents.

Barcelona had the ball and their superb passing skills made it difficult for opponents to grab the ball.

When the opponent gets the ball, Barcelona will also press the whole court to force the opponent to make mistakes and lose the ball, instead of shrinking in the backfield and passively waiting for the opponent to attack.

Like Inter Milan, Barcelona are currently eight points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid in the La Liga table.

With a few games left in the league and an eight-point lead is quite large, Barcelona can focus on the Champions League semi-finals just like Inter Milan.

On April 25, Barcelona arrived in Milan two days early to begin their pre-match preparations.

This year, Barcelona did not encounter volcanic ash, did not take a long bus to get tired, and had plenty of rest to prepare for the game.

Therefore, when the pre-match press conference was held on April 26, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, Puyol, Villa and other players expressed full confidence, claiming that Barcelona would definitely eliminate Inter Milan this year and avenge last season's revenge.

Meeting in the semi-finals of the Champions League for the second season in a row is a great opportunity for Barcelona to get revenge!

Inter Milan at home will naturally not show weakness, not to mention that the head coach is still the madman Mourinho!

Jose Mourinho claims that Inter Milan will beat Barcelona again and keep them out of the final!

Moreover, he will also lead Inter Milan to win the championship by stepping on the corpse of Barcelona, and even win the treble!

There are too many grievances between Mourinho and Barcelona!

From Chelsea to Inter Milan, Mourinho and Barcelona have become mortal enemies!

Of course, these are just pre-game cannons, but they are just lace news used by the media to attract readers!

Who really wins and who loses, and who can advance to the finals, will only be known through comparison.

Moreover, one game is not enough, and it will not be known until both games are over.

In the first leg of the other semi-final on the previous day, United beat Schalke 04 2-0 away to not only give them a 2-0 aggregate lead, but also to score two away goals.

It can be said that there is no suspense about the winner of the other semi-final, and it will definitely be Manchester United who will advance to the final, and Schalke 04 is unlikely to be able to turn the tables away from home with a 0-2 victory.

This is also in line with the impression given by the strength and fame of both sides.

Now it's up to Inter Milan and Barcelona to beat their opponents to advance to the final and compete with Manchester United for the top honour in this season's Champions League.

On April 27, at 20:45 p.m., the Meazza Stadium, which has enough capacity for 80,000 people, was full.

With the referee's whistle, the first leg of the 2010/2011 Champions League semi-final between Inter Milan and Barcelona officially began at the Meazza Stadium.

It was Barcelona who kicked off first.

Originally, what everyone wanted to see was the confrontation between two of the world's top giants, Mars, and the collision of the two Mr. Golden Balls, Lu Wenbin and Messi.

Unexpectedly, Barcelona kept passing back after kickoff, and after Lu Wenbin and Eto'o rushed up to grab the ball, they passed forward.

However, after passing to the midfield, they are not in a hurry to attack, and they return the pass again after the slightest interception or obstruction.

When there is no chance to pass forward, the two defenders can even pass back and forth several times, or the defender and goalkeeper Valdés can pass back and forth a few times.

Barcelona's pass-and-control football is characterized by possession at the back, and only when it feels that the opponent is showing flaws and the offensive opportunity is good, it will suddenly pass forward and penetrate the opponent's defense.

However, today's Barcelona feel that they are not possessing the ball at the back, but using the ball at the back to delay time.

Without complete certainty, they couldn't even go through half the pitch.

Tens of thousands of Inter fans have been booed, but Barcelona still went their own way and did not waver.

Although Lu Wenbin is fast, he is not a master of defensive steals.

In the case that the passing and control skills of the entire Barcelona team are very good, although Lu Wenbin and Eto'o kept running back and forth to grab the ball, they were constantly teased by Barcelona's backfield players in a monkey way, which made more than 10,000 away Barcelona fans in the stands laugh.

World No. 1 Lu Wenbin was teased like a monkey by Barcelona, making Barça fans feel very good, as if they had already won the game.

When Lu Wenbin couldn't hold back and beckoned Sneijder and others to come forward to grab the ball together, Barcelona would take advantage of the gap leaked by Sneijder and others to attack forward, but as soon as they encountered obstacles, they immediately passed back.

10 minutes have passed, and Lu Wenbin has not even touched the ball once.

Twenty minutes on, Barcelona had 78 per cent possession and a 95 per cent pass completion rate, with Inter not even having a shot inside the woodwork.

Mourinho was already standing on the sidelines, his face gloomy.

He could see that the words of revenge in the pre-match press conferences of Pep Guardiola, Puyol and others were smokescreens.

Facing Inter Milan with Lu Wenbin, Barcelona, known as the technical stream, did not attack Inter Milan, but used their superb passing skills to defend the ball, pulling the possession rate to a terrifying point, trying to drag an away draw, and then return to the home Camp Nou to decide the winner.

The general defense is passive, even if the more successful teams like AC Milan and Roma still can't completely prevent Lu Wenbin, and it is inevitable to give Lu Wenbin the opportunity to break through or create a free kick with the ball.

As a result, Barcelona are now using their passing skills to change the way teams defend against Inter Milan, not attacking with possession, but defending with possession. (Ask for a commuter pass)
