Inter Milan's coach Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola of Barcelona on the touchline, Champions League semi final, Camp Nou, Barcelona, 28 April 2010.

Can you name Inter’s XI from their iconic CL semi vs Barcelona, 2010?

On 28 April, 2010, Inter Milan booked their place in the Champions League final with one of the defining displays of Jose Mourinho’s managerial career – a 1-0 defeat to Barcelona.

The result was enough for the Serie A side to make it past Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering Barcelona, having won the first leg at the San Siro 3-1.

You’ll probably remember Mourinho charged onto the Camp Nou pitch at the final whistle to celebrate getting one over his old friend Guardiola, and the club that rejected him a couple of years prior.

But can you remember the team he put out that night? We’re asking you to name the 11 men that made Inter’s starting XI that famous night in Catalonia.

To jog your memory, one of the visitors was sent off after just 28 minutes, leaving the remaining 10 men to produce one of the backs-to-the-wall defensive displays for the ages. Gerard Pique eventually scored for Barcelona in the 84th minute, but Inter denied them an all-important second.

After the game, Mourinho said: “We were a team of heroes, we sweated blood. I thank everyone who played and who did not play. I thank all the fans, those who were here and those who remained at home.

“Absolutely incredible things happened. Now is our festival. I want the fans at the airport waiting for these guys.”
