Champions League: CSKA Moscow v Inter
By Martha | October 23rd, 2007On paper, it was a nice, safe 2-1 win for Inter, who came back after being down 1-0 at half to take three away points. In reality, though, it was entirely unpleasant, and the win came as a result of blind luck, when the ball either took a screwy bounce o
