Jose Mourinho may never have been more Jose Mourinho than when his side successfully held off Pep Guardiola's brilliant Barcelona in the 2010 Champions League semi-final second leg.

Inter had claimed a 3-1 lead in the first leg but were reduced to ten men just 28 minutes into the return trip to the Nou Camp.

The away goals rule meant a 2-0 victory for Barcelona would have put them through, but Inter stood their ground magnificently and limited a star-studded Barca to just a single goal... or a single legitimate goal, anyway.
