Barcelona v Inter Milan

Well who will line up alongside Bayern Munich in the Champions League Final at the Bernabeu on May 22nd.

Inter are favourites with a best price of 4/6 (Skybet, Victor Chandler) but I fancy the Spaniards at 5/4 (Bet 365, Coral, Stan James).

I feel that the attacking prowess of the Catalans will prevail as they seek to overcome a 2 goal aggregate deficit.

Their is the problem of if Inter score, then they need to score 4 in normal time to qualify in ninty minutes but I believe that they will keep them out and win by at least two if not three goals.

The home side will be without captain Carlos Puyol who is suspended whilst Abidal and Iniesta are doubts.

The Italians are also without Dejan Stankovic through suspension while Mario Balotelli, Goran Pandev and influential playmaker Wesley Sneijder could all miss out.

Lionel Messi, this season's Champions League top goalscorer, has never scored against a team managed by Jose Mourinho, but the current holders chances may rest on the young Argentinian's shoulders.

Although Jose will probably send his troops out to be as tight as they possibly can, like a typical Italian outfit, I do not believe that they can keep this fabolous footballing side at bay.

If Barca can grab an early goal, then I feel that they should progress quite comfortably forcing the Italians to change their game plan and then hitting them on the break.

The Spaniards are too short to back to win the game at 4/9 (Skybet, Stanjames), so I am going for them on the handicap market, as they need to cover it to qualify.

Bets -
2pts Barcelona to qualify @ 5/4 (Bet 365, Coral, Stan James)
1pt Barcelona -1 @ 6/5 (Bet 365)
