Another fun game which really brought the back the early 2010's football.Despite the game ending with only one goal difference,it wasn't close at all,Inter Milan attacked so much the full 90's,especially in the first half,they barely let Tottenham breath but I like that Tottenham regained their composure in the 2nd half and managed to score some goals.I'll firstly start with Inter Milan,Eto'o was so good in the first half,scored 2 goals and assisted two and even in the second half,had some attacks here and there but wasn't as crucial as he was in the first half,good game from him tho.Coutinho was another good player,absolutely crucified Alan Hutton,he also linked-up good with Sneijder and Zanetti and had so many shots.I honestly liked Inter's midfield and wingers,all of them were dangerous,maybe except Biabiany who wasn't a big attacking threat.Also,Inter's game fell off big time in second half once Stankovic went off injured,they missed a lot of that defensive workrate since in all honesty,Inter's defense wasn't very good,heavily helped by Zanetti and Stankovic when he played,especially Julio Cesar,such a big liability. Now with Tottenham,they were disappointing,Gomes got an early red cause Assou-Ekotto got outpaced by Maicon but Gomes was also kinda careless,I also think Modric being taken out instead of Huddlestone because of the red is criminal,Huddlestone was the captain at that time but he didn't offer anything this game,doing cardio mostly but even if Modric was playing,Tottenham's defense,midfield and even attack was very disappointing,I'll cut Peter Crouch some slack since he's a striker who needs to be served and unfortunately nobody was there to help him and even when Robbie Keane came on,same thing happened. Only man on Tottenham's side tried and that is the one and only,Gareth Bale,he was so good this game,scoring a hattrick but constantly crucifying Maicon and pressing,best player on the pitch by far,my MOTM goes to him 100%.Genuinely 1v11 moment.
