La sceneggiata di Sergio Busquets non ha smosso la Commissione Disciplinare della Uefa, che anzi ha punito severamente Thiago Motta: il centrocampista dell'Inter è stato infatti squalificato per due turni a seguito dell'espulsione rimediata nel corso della partita di ritorno col Barcellona. Per Motta, dunque, si chiudono le porte della finale di Madrid, anche se l'Inter potrà comunque presentare ricorso contro questa decisione entro tre giorni.

Ricordiamo i fatti: Thiago Motta è stato espulso da De Bleeckere per una manata contro il centrocampista Sergio Busquets; le telecamere hanno però colto il mediano iberico a terra mentre spostava le mani dal volto per scrutare le mosse del fischietto belga, un atteggiamento ben poco sportivo che Thiago Motta non esitò a definire vergognoso chiedendo l'applicazione della prova tv. Tale richiesta, purtroppo, non è stata accolta: paga l'italo-brasiliano, che vede (salvo ricorso!) spezzarsi il sogno di giocare la finale di Madrid.

Mourinho: "I prepare footballers, not gladiators"

APPIANO GENTILE - José Mourinho prepares for matches through hard work and a thorough study of his opponents, as the Portuguese coach explained to inter.it after being informed of the declarations made by Claudio Ranieri in today's Roma press conference.

"Bearing in mind that Roma should have ended Wednesday evening's game with six men, considering that Mexes, Totti, Perrotta, Taddei and Burdisso deserved to be sent off for what they did, today he spoke about how to motivate players. It is done every day through work with the group, training session after training session. You certainly don't do it by showing the team a film before a cup final. Players are serious professionals, they shouldn't be treated like children. We preferred to work on the pitch and we studied Roma and their weak points thoroughly. If I got the team to watch The Gladiator before a match, my players would laugh or call the doctor to ask him if I am ill.

"I don't think I'm a phenomenon, but I have worked hard to help my team. I have never cried, I have always worked hard to get results with my players. I watched six Roma matches before the Tim Cup final to find their weak points, working eighteen hours because each match takes me about three hours on the computer. After that I spent more hours selecting the parts that I needed and worked on them with the various programmes that are useful for my work. Of course, it's much easier to choose a film to show before the game, but Ranieri forgot that his players are champions, not children.

"I have never said I'm a phenomenon, but it's certainly not my fault if, when I arrived at Chelsea in 2004 and asked why they were changing Ranieri, they replied that they wanted to win and that it would never have happened with him. I'm not to blame for this."

Good display from the boys so far even after going 0 - 1 down. 3 - 1 up so the game's not totally closed but if it were up to me I'd bring Pandev on for Milito and switch Eto'o to the centre. They'll have an entire weeks rest for the next game so I don't think we should go crazy with subs but maybe either Cambiasso or Stankovic should come off as well for Mariga.

Another beauty from Milito. We played at a really high tempo for the first 10 mins and when Chievo scored at the other end I had a feeling it was not going to be our night. But here we are at 4-1.

[Dejan-Stankovic]

Fucckkkk it was sooooooooo close. 6 mins away from the Scudetto. No wonder Cagliari are so shit and can barely hold onto any sort of lead.

Oh well.

Close call. We lost our heads when Caligari had taken the lead and made a blunder to concede the third goal. Mourinho was visibly pissed and rightly so. At the end we got the three points and head into the last game with fate in our hands. Hopefully Sneijder can recover by then.
