Barcelona vs Inter Milan: Match preview
Current favourites to win the competition, Barcelona, take on Inter Milan in their UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg on Wednesday.
Hansi Flick's side leads the way in La Liga, and their form of late has been nothing short of spectacular. Having won the Copa del Rey just a few days ago, their attention must now quickly turn to yielding a positive result on home soil against one of Italy's most decorated outfits.
Barcelona have scored at a rate of 3.1 goals per game - only Flick's former Bayern Munich side (3.2) has ever averaged more this season, and that statistic is down to the flying form of Raphinha, Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski as of late.
As for Simeone Inzaghi's side, his talented team have scored 19 goals in this term's campaign, compared to Barca's 37, it is their defensive grit that makes them so hard to beat.
Inter are just three points behind Serie A leader Napoli at present, and with their 2023 final heartache in Europe against Manchester City still lingering, could this be the year Inzaghi's side records a famous league and cup double?
Barcelona vs Inter: Team news
Star striker Robert Lewandowski is a doubt for both legs, given he sustained a hamstring injury earlier this month.
The Poland international has smashed in 40 goals in all competitions this season, so his presence in attack with be a huge miss.
Elsewhere, Marc Bernal and Marc Casado are both currently sidelined with knee problems.
Frenkie de Jong, Pedri and Ferran Torres were subbed off during Saturday’s Copa del Rey semi-final against Real Madrid, but club sources have confirmed the trio are all fit to play on Wednesday.
As for Inter, Marcus Thuram should be fit to partner Lautaro Martinez in attack for Inzaghi's side, but a key defender will miss out.
Benjamin Pavard had to be replaced in the 1-0 loss to Roma on Sunday and will play no part in the crucial first-leg contest.
"We will face Barcelona with respect, but without fear. We deserve to be among the top four teams in Europe and want to show that," said the Inter boss ahead of the game.
