One thing you have to know about soccer's Champions League, you basically never advance if you lose the home leg -- until tonight, it had only happened once, 15 years ago, that a team (Ajax) managed to lose the first leg at home then win the away match. Losing at home means you're toast.
Eearlier tonight in Munich, though, European and World Champion Internazionale FC won 3-2 vs Bayern after losing 0-1 in Milan's San Siro two weeks ago -- and therefore moved on to the quarter finals of the Champions League to defend their trophy.
Opera Chic is proud to be a fan of a team that, besides the victories, consistently shows class: striker Samuel Eto'o -- a wonderful player with a good heart -- who was the game's winner with one goal and two assists, gave his respects right after scoring to teammate Yuto Nagatomo from Japan: before and after the game, Inter players waved a Japanese flag in sign of solidarity with the victims of the earthquake.
