Here is your answer ^^^ , so why are you saying that his presence will be a "motivation " for your players which will make you prevail ?
and you haven't beat him playing with 11 players in a KO round so he might beg to differ about the ref's help
there you go again, with the technicalities and limits. in the KO round as well coz we took inter to school in the groups earlier this year!
like zlatan had never scored in the KO CL rounds before, right?
honestly, beast, who cares?
we were seconds away from beating him
COMPREHENSIVELY 11v11 when the ref gave a penalty because terry (or lampard?) kicked the floor and fell over. they scored the pen and drew 1-1. what does that change? nothing.
our games against mourinho:
A. drogba got sent off for kicking valdés in the chest. we won 2-1.
B. chelsea win 4-2 at the bridge, their winning goal was coz carvalho's foul on valdés went unpunished.
C. del horno should have been sent off for trying to kick messi's leg in two earlier in the match, that he got sent off for the studs up challenge he eventually did was justice (and actually helped chelsea close ranks, del horno was all over the place). we win 1-2 at the bridge.
D. we draw 1-1 at camp nou. terry or lampard kicks the ground to earn a last second penalty to equalise - awful refereeing decision.
E. chelsea win 1-0 at the bridge, bus parked, boulharouz hacking ronaldinho at every turn and somehow staying on the pitch. but whatever.
F. we draw 2-2 at camp nou. thrilling match, great last minute equaliser from drogba. carvalho not punished for trying to kick messi to pieces.
G. we draw 0-0 at san siro. nothing special here at all.
H. we win 2-0 at camp nou. thoroughly outplay jose's full-strength team 11v11 without zlatan or messi.
I. inter win 3-1 at the san siro, with the ref not giving us one stonewall penalty on dani and allowing milito's offside goal. and if you wanna be finnicky you could also say we deserved a penalty for the foul on piqué, messi was fouled in the move that led to inter's second, and maicon n' samuel should have both been booked and ruled out of the second leg.
J. motta was unlucky to be straight red-carded (busi conned the ref) but he was already on a yellow and a hand to the face, even as minimally as he did, is still a second yellow. so he'd have been off anyway. referee denies bojan a last-minute goal. we win 1-0 anyway.
the fact that he's had so many red cards against us (and that there should have been more) just shows how he sends his players out to play against fc barcelona.
