Inter Milan boss Mourinho slaughters everyone at Barcelona - including Messi
Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho blasted everyone involved at Barcelona after his Champions League triumph last night.
Barcelona defeated Inter 1-0 in the second-leg of their semifinal, but were bundled out 3-2 on aggregate.
“Leo Messi is Messi. An incredible talent, from another galaxy, but like all the others he didn't play to his strengths. That should be quality and fair play, but I saw none of it on or off the pitch,” the Inter Coach told RAI.
“At 4am we couldn't sleep, as there were fireworks outside the hotel door. We called the police at 11pm and they arrived at 3.30am.
“A player like Samuel Eto'o who comes back here every few days was harassed by police today when told he had to pay taxes not paid in 2005.”
Mourinho was also furious at the red card when Sergio Busquets made the most of a fingertip touch from Thiago Motta after just 28 minutes.
“I can make a guarantee, that next year I'll be back. I always seem to end up being paired with Barcelona and every time something happens.
“Thiago Motta's card was the same as that for Didier Drogba. Unfortunately Motta lost his cool for a second. I said nothing to him at half-time. I spoke to the rest of the team to explain how they should play and adapt.
“I do not want to judge the referee. I said beforehand that when the players want to help the referee, his job is easy, but tonight some people tried to make life difficult for him.”
The Nerazzurri lost 1-0 on the night, but have reached their first European Cup Final since 1972 thanks to the 3-1 first leg result.
“It was a team of heroes, where everyone left their blood on that pitch. I am proud of everyone, those who played and didn't, of the fans who suffered with us here and at home.
“Barcelona did their celebrating beforehand, created some controversy and did some incredible things over the past 24 hours. Now I ask the fans to welcome us at the airport, even if it's tough and they have to work tomorrow. They should arrive at the airport to welcome these spectacular players, as they've earned it.
“I can only imagine how they're enjoying it, as they know how difficult this was. It's hard against Barca with 11 men, but with 10 it's extraordinary.
“This is the greatest defeat of my life! But my team deserved to draw 0-0 really. Julio Cesar made it seem as if we were playing with 11 men.”
Mourinho was blocked from celebrating with his Inter away fans by an unhappy Barca goalkeeper Victor Valdes at the final whistle.
The Special One added: “Valdes, like the others, expected to win this tie. They had a big surprise at San Siro and when we saw the mess they made with the T-shirts and the people making noise, it became clear they were afraid."

If you refer to a team as "we" kill yo self
When ever Morinho is coaching, Messi can't score. This is a threat to barca as many coaches by now should know how to handle Messi, put a right footed player on the left back position, like what Benitez did years ago and repeated by morinho on the last two games. Messi is briliant, but have weaknes on his right foot and he can't cut from the left and shoot as his right foot is chocolate. The same will happen with Bayern, use same system and stop Robben, who would try to cut from the right wing and shoot as always. Surely, he will be nulified by right footed zaneti.
stop calling it a two team league b/c guess what England and Italy is not that much different u idiots!!!....Barca being overated is a complete joke, u guys havent really watched Barca play ...not dirty,play clean and they never change their style...attack attack attack....they never park the bus and i feel fortunate to have a team like that b/c we make teams play defensive b/c we are so talented. We ran circles around Man U last year made them feel like they were chasing shadows. You know why? because it was a one leg match...no choice but to play straight up....no one can beat Barca in a one match game...no one
