Well CSKA Inter was always going to be a dull game. It's like saying you don't like the Premier League because you judge it by watching a Bolton-Wigan game.
I'm a big fan of the CL. It would be a loss for football if teams like Barcelona/Madrid, Bayern, Lyon, Arsenal/ManU/Chelsea, .. would only play each other in friendlies. The way Barcelona played at Emirates in the first half especially, was the best football I've seen in a long time.
