Inter Milan v Barcelona: Line-ups, stats and preview

Preview for Inter Milan v Barcelona

Barcelona kick-off a season-defining week in Italy tomorrow looking to secure a place in the Champions League final.

Hansi Flick’s side take on Inter Milan in the second leg of their last-four clash at San Siro hoping to improve on last week’s pulsating 3-3 draw in Catalonia.

Inter led 2-0 and 3-2 before Barca secured a draw thanks to Raphinha’s brilliant strike that went in via the back of goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

After facing the Nerazzurri, Barca return home to host Real Madrid in a Clasico clash that could determine the outcome of this season’s La Liga title race. Both sides won at the weekend, meaning Barca retained their four-point cushion at the summit.

Ideally, Flick would rest some of his key players ahead of that game but there is no room for rotation this week and the visitors will go full throttle in Milan as they look to take another step towards a domestic and continental treble.

Inter were superb at the Estadi Olympic Lluis Companys last Wednesday despite a recent blip in their league form.

The weekend win over Verona was their first in three Serie A contests while they also suffered a chastening defeat to AC Milan in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.

Simone Inzaghi’s side are still right in the mix for the Scudetto, though, as they trail leaders Napoli by three points with three games remaining.
