Inter Milan reached the semi final of the Champions League by beating CSKA Moscow 0-1 in Russia on Tuesday and on April 20th and 28th, Barca will again face Mourinho’s team, as the two go head to head for a spot in this year’s final.

Inter, who also won the first leg against the Russians have already met the reigning champions twice this season, losing 2-0 in the Nou Camp and drawing 0-0 in the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in the Group stage.

Early goal

The game in Moscow was settled as early as the sixth minute when Wesley Snejder fired home a free kick through the wall to surprise the Russian keeper and make it 2-0 on aggregate. CSKA tried to find a way back, but it was Diego Milito for the Italians just past the half hour mark who came closest to changing the scores, but the excellent Akinfeev foiled his effort.

Red card seals Russians’ fate

The sending off of Odiah on at the start of the second half virtually sentenced the game and but for another save from Akinfeev from Milito again on 72 minutes, Inter could have doubled their lead.
