Mourinho: Barca’s long road trip won’t matter

INTER MILAN coach Jose Mourinho does not believe his side will gain any advantage from Barcelona’s disrupted build-up to tonight’s Champions League semi-final first leg at the San Siro.

Barça’s high-profile stars were forced to undertake a 600-mile coach trip to Milan due to the air travel restrictions in force across Europe caused by the ash cloud from the Icelandic volcano.

The reigning European champions began their journey Sunday afternoon and did not arrive in northern Italy until early yesterday following an overnight stopover in the Frenchresort of Cannes.
