| Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Samuel Eto'o were both kept under wraps
by their former team-mates as Inter Milan held Champions League
holders Barcelona to a goalless draw at the San Siro.
The quick return of the two strikers to their old clubs dominated
talk in the build-up to the match, with Barca having this summer
given Inter €46 million plus Eto'o - valued at €20 million
- in exchange for Ibrahimovic.
The Swede was much more involved than his Cameroon counterpart
as treble winners Barca spent large parts of the game going forward,
but neither player, or anyone else for that matter, was able to
find the breakthrough as defences came out on top.
Barca were quickest out of the blocks and bossed most of the first
half in the battle between the two big guns in Group F, while it
was a similar story after the break as Jose Mourinho's Inter struggled
to create many clear opportunities of their own. |
