00:00All right, so the big talking point today on our show here is this huge comeback from Inter Milan yesterday against Barcelona.

00:07Certainly a lot of people seem to be on social media saying that Barcelona blew it.

00:12It wasn't that Inter won it. What do you make of it?

00:16Yeah, look, sometimes we like to get into the nitty gritty here, Craig, because that's what we do, right?

00:21We want to find the angles. We want to break down the games.

00:25Sometimes sports just happen, right? And it's great when they do.

00:30Sometimes soccer comes down to put ball in net and one team put ball in net better than other team yesterday.

00:37And that was Inter. It just that's just the way it went.

00:39They got just the perfect mix of incredible goalkeeping.

00:44Jan Sommer was unbelievable, made an incredible number of saves against Laminia Mall in particular.

00:51The equalizing goal at the end of regulation to send it to extra time was scored by a 37-year-old defender

00:58who never scored a Champions League goal in his life before that one.

01:02And it was like a striker's finish. It was unbelievable.

01:05So, you know, sometimes this is just what happens in these knockout tournaments.

01:09It was an all-time game. We had a blast.

01:12But now you look forward. What does it mean for the Champions League final?

01:15Here's what impressed me the most about Inter and why I hope nobody sleeps on them in the Champions League final

01:20against either Arsenal or PSG.

01:23This was the best defensive team in Europe coming into this semifinal.

01:28And they won the semifinal 7-6 on aggregate, which tells me not only are they an exceptional defensive side,

01:38but they can flip the switch and play with an attacking team when they want to.

01:43And Barcelona played right into their hands.

01:47And so I really think that people shouldn't sleep on Inter.

01:52We want to keep a look at the lines when the Champions League final odds come out

01:56because there's a chance that the odds will sleep on Inter and we should watch for value there.

02:05Because while I think, you know, I still probably would favor Arsenal or PSG over them,

02:10certainly PSG, you've got to look at potential value here because it very well may be there.
