United boss believes 'Special One' got it spot on against Barca
Sir Alex Ferguson believes Jose Mourinho got his tactics spot on as his Inter Milan side beat Barcelona 3-2 on aggregate to progress to the UEFA Champions League final.
Inter had to do things the hard way after midfielder Thiago Motta was controversially sent off for aiming a flailing arm into the face of Sergio Busquets after just 28 minutes.
But despite playing with 10 men for more than an hour the Nerazzurri held firm and restricted the holders to long range efforts before Gerard Pique gave the hosts a flicker of hope with a well taken goal in the closing stages.
In the end it wasn't enough and although Barca dominated possession Inter came away from the game having gone largely untroubled throughout.
"They set their stall out very well and I couldn't see them losing the game," Ferguson said.
"(Esteban) Cambiasso filled all the spaces. Inter let Barcelona cross the ball all the time and it was never a problem.
"We faced Barcelona two years ago and they didn't really create any chances against us either.
"I am sure there is a way to play against them."
