Barca blitz Inter to maintain inspired Euro form

BARCELONA put their poor Primera Liga form this season behind them at Camp Nou last night when they put Inter Milan comprehensively to the sword with a 3-0 win which puts them firmly in control of Group A of the Champions’ League.

Inter had a terrible night which was capped late in the game when their Colombian international Alvero Recoba was sent off for appearing to kick Barca defender Puyol in the face.

But for the Barcelona fans and new manager Radomir Antic, this was a huge performance. In fact, this was the team’s 11th consecutive Champions’ League success - a record in the competition - and it puts them on top of Group A with eight points.
