This is one Italian team I’m not rooting for.  I hope this will be as exciting as the 1^st leg match (but with Bayern winning, of course).  Bayern, the runners up from last season, would love to knock out the defending champions, Inter Milan.  But one away goal is not really a big advantage coming in to the 2^nd Leg, especially since any Inter Milan goal scored in this match will be an away goal.

0 – 1

Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich

There was no one team that dominated the match as both sides were pretty strong.  Each had numerous chances and near misses, it was quite nerve-wracking.  Just when I thought it was going to end on a deadlock, Gomez scored a precious away goal during the last minute of the game.  Credit also goes to Robben as it was his long shot attempt that Julio Cesar failed to hold which made way for the only score in the game.

I would have wanted more explosive counter-attacks and more fluid one-touch passes from Bayern, especially on the offense side.  I was expecting the same kind of play the Germany team had during the last World Cup.  I dunno if the opponent was just that good (they are the Champions League title holders), or that there’s no Ozil to be the playmaker or it’s just a way different team with Robben and Ribbery on the frontlines.
