Starting this thread just so that ElDeigo22 can keep his winning streak going blivious:

Also, never forget:

Lets do this. Forza Inter!

If I have been sure of one thing in my life is that Messi is in for a rough awakening. He has never faced someone like Skriniar before.

Not to be too much of a pessimist, but one point from two matches vs. Barcelona would leave us in a decent position.

Thank goodness for these first 6 points!

Messi=Barca,without him they are like a Tottenham orArsenal or something.Beatable...is the key word. Let's introduce Skriniar to Messi shall we...the ball will pass maybe but Messi won't haha
Fuck Barca! We shan't fear anyone!

Skriniar has never faced anyone like messi either,let's not hype up Skriniar until we play them. I sure hope Santon vs Ronaldo fiasco to repeat though..

Looked more like result prediction

I like that Inter is unpredictable this season, leaves all scenarios probable.

However the fact that the only big team that Messi hasnt score in is Inter could make him a bit more motivated, specially that there is no Motta-Cambiasso and Zanetti in front of him.

Anyway, Blue9golan got some balls to open this thread, I'll give you that :shades:

Messi is still their main goal threat, but despite his 5 goals in the last 2 CL games its not just about neutralising him. I saw the recording of the Spurs-Barca game yesterday. Suarez has become an unselfish player and has a brilliant understanding with Messi, plus Coutinho is in great form too. Also that kid Arthur reminds me of Xavi. Barca's focus this year is the CL, and they will rest and reserve their best for this game.

Its not as simple as just stopping Messi I am afraid. Even if Inter XI play the best game of their lives, even that might not be enough at Barcelona. So Inter will have to be clever - high intensity, high pressure, hard tackling. Everyone will have to play like Nainggolan and Skriniar, only that attitude can help us disrupt Barca's rhythm and get something from this game.

Cue the 9golan-Rafinha midfield battle

 

[wera]

A game where Candreva might start and actually be a good thing. We'll see. We are in a good position to not have to win this game in order to still go through. Just no humiliating defeats, please.

who else noticed messi rediscovered his older self after he shaved his bear

Dude messi is messi if he is on his day he will rape skriniar doesn't matter.

Don't matter who the opponent is. Always play to win. I'm seeing that more and more from our boys under Spal. Barca is not unbeatable. They are good but so are we. Our best bet is to take the game to them. Press high and don't give them the opportunity to set up and do what they want.
FORZA INTER

 

[I4E]

Was 2010 the last time we played them?

 

[Batman]

Is Cambiasso available?

 

[JJM]

what year is it?

 

[YoramG]

Coutinho and Rakitic were on some anime shit last night.

This is going to be fucking difficult, and a draw is probably the maximum we can hope for. But goddamn I am excited to see Skriniar go up against Messi and Icardi against Pique. These are the kind of big games that you should expect when playing for Inter.
