CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: THE PRINCE FROM SHOCK ERROR TO SHOW.  INTER WON 2-1.

The Nerazzurri suffer at the San Siro with Lille. 

Samuel opens, Prince's blunder but then scores the double.

ONLY IN EUROPE IT'S THE TRUE INTER

Samuel and then the Prince.  The Nerazzurri have arrived to the last step from the knockout round.

The captain serves an assist to Diego who finally scores.

Some thrilling moments at the final minutes after the goal of Lille.

Milan - At the third minute of the second half with Inter in the lead with one goal, no one has more doubts.  Harry Potter or Wizard of Oz, somebody had done the magic: the Prince, the splendid Matador of the Bernabeu, was disappeared.  From a Sneijder freekick, Stankovic served the ball back to Milito who, all alone, shockingly put the ball over the crossbar and missed the potential match-point.  Dismay more than anger in the stands.  The Prince, dejected, wandered on the field with his head down.  Not only that, he wasted another counter attack and with that, he was just waiting for a substitution.  It's here that Zanetti, one of the best players, anchored his duties as a fullback.  The Argentinian arrived and made a cross like kissing a frog.  Then Milito scored the 2-0 and became a Prince.  Inter-Lille was then transformed into an Argentinian fairy tale because Inter got the lead thanks to Samuel and in the final minutes, Alvarez also deserves applause.

Mission accomplished This win is bringing Inter closer to qualification and first place: mission accomplished thanks to the tie between CSKA at Trabzonspor.  The rest, perhaps will come in time.  But apart from the Lucio's blunder that led to De Melo's goal, the defense responded well with the return of Walter Samuel and the infinite pride of Zanetti.  Lille deserved to lose.  When they had the center ring on the field, they did not know what to do.  Very few punches landed.  They were impotent with only possession and corners.  The involvement of Cole and Harzard was like droplets of the rain.

One is enough Just about two minutes there was already emotion at the San Siro.  Chivu catapulted a long ball for Milito in front of the keeper.  Two seasons ago, that would have been a goal.  Today: crossbar.  Symbol of bad luck.  Another valuable indication is the set pieces.  In fact, Lille got 8 corners in the first half while Inter only had one but that was good enough as Samuel capitalized the corner from Sneijder for the 1-0 at the 18th minute.

Magic The second half started with the little drama of Milito but the San Siro still has him in its heart like sweet cake gave him generous applause hoping that it could be the medicine for the true Milito.  For Lille, after getting their goal, remained soft and blunt.  Inter are just a step away from the knockout rounds, which would make this the 9th time in the last 10 years.  Inter currently have 9 points just like the Treble season.  Forget the comparisons, but it is reasonable to pretend that Harry Potter or the Wizard of Oz, has done an imperfect spell, and perhaps not everything is vanished.  Perhaps something in that treble winning team is still pretty much alive.
