Special One Outfoxes Midget Magician

Jose Mourinho confounded the footballing wisdom once again as he masterminded a jaw droppingly surprising win over the best team on the planet.
Inter Milan produced a fine first-leg display as they came from behind to beat holders Barcelona 3-1 and take control of their Champions League semi-final.Barca,on a night when the midget magician Lionel Messi was creatively shackled , dumped Arsenal out in the last round, went ahead when Maxwell’s left-wing cross found Pedro to slot in.Inter levelled as Wesley Sneijder fired in right-footed from a Diego Milito pass and Milito then teed up Maicon to control and slam home to make it 2-1.Milito nodded in after Sneijder miscued a header to put Inter firmly in charge.The result gives Barca a mountain to climb in the second leg in Catalonia next Wednesday as they seek to become the first team since AC Milan in 1990 to defend their European title.
