Inter in front of Porto again
FC Porto return to the venue and the team where last season, as UEFA Champions League holders, they relinquished their crown in a 3-1 loss at FC Internazionale Milano. The Portuguese club took a measure of revenge with a fine 2-0 win against Inter on Matchday 3 and, again like last season, are now showing strong signs of making a recovery after a stuttering start to their group campaign.
Previous meeting
• Porto were eliminated in the last 16 of the competition in 2004/05 in the first meeting between the clubs.
• The first leg in Porto was drawn 1-1 with Obafemi Martins giving Inter a 24th-minute lead before Ricardo Costa equalised just after the hour. Inter's Adriano struck a hat-trick in the return leg, with Jorge Costa registering for Porto in the 69th minute.
Fine home record
• Inter have a fine home record against Portuguese clubs in UEFA competition. Of seven previous matches, the Italian club have won six and drawn one, and scored 17 goals with five conceded. The only time Inter were denied a home win was by Porto's neighbours Boavista FC in the 1991/92 UEFA Cup first round. Boavista forced a scoreless draw to win the tie 2-1 on aggregate.
====================
I'm expecting nothing but a win out of this game. Adriano has said himself he's been in poor form and is ready to get back to top shape, and this would be the perfect game to show his true ability.
edit: J ZANETTI IS BACK! No Materazzi!!! Oh thank you god...
