Inter Milan vs Barcelona Preview

Barcelona’s attack has incredible firepower, but Inter Milan exposed them on the counter in last week’s 3-3 draw. The Italians are unbeaten at home in the UCL since September 2022, so extra-time may be needed to separate these sides.

Last week’s clash in Spain has ended in a 3-3 draw.

Inter Milan Form

Inter Milan recorded just 0.90 expected goals, 29% possession, and three shots on target in last week’s UCL semifinal tie against Barcelona but still managed to secure a 3-3 draw, with Denzel Dumfries scoring a brace and Marcus Thuram also on target.

In domestic affairs, Simone Inzaghi’s side sits in 2nd place in Serie A, three points behind leaders Napoli, with just three rounds remaining.

After losses to Bologna and Roma (both 1-0) in late April, Nerazzurri returned to winning ways last weekend, defeating Verona 1-0 at home, with Kristjan Asllani converting a penalty in the 9th minute.

Barcelona Form

Barcelona dominated possession and created the better chances in the first leg, registering 19 shots at Inter’s goal, and were left frustrated by the 3-3 result.

Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres both scored in the first half, while Raphinha’s second-half effort deflected off Yann Sommer for an own goal.

Last weekend, Barcelona took another step toward securing the La Liga title with a 2-1 comeback win over bottom-placed Real Valladolid, thanks to goals from Raphinha and Fermin Lopez early in the second half.

Hansi Flick’s side now sit four points clear of Real Madrid with four rounds remaining.

They also defeated their archrivals in the Spanish Cup final in late April, winning 3-2 after extra time. Pedri opened the scoring, but Barcelona trailed 2-1 with 10 minutes left before Ferran Torres equalised and Jules Kounde netted the winner in extra time.

Team News

Inter Milan are without injured captain Lautaro Martinez, so I am expecting either Marko Arnautovic or Mehdi Taremi to lead the offense. Benjamin Pavard is also out due to hamstring injury.

Barcelona remain without Jules Kounde through injury. Robert Lewandowski and Alejandro Balde are nearing returns but are not expected to feature.

Predicted Starting Lineups

Inter Milan: Sommer, Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni, Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco, Taremi, Thuram

Barcelona: Szczesny, Garcia, Araujo, Cubarsi, Martinez, De Jong, Pedri, Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha, Torres

Verdict

Inter Milan v Barcelona

Inter Milan are likely to use the same strategy as last week, sitting deep in their own half and striking through counter-attacks. The Nerazzurri are unbeaten in their last 15 UCL games at Giuseppe Meazza, so I am backing another draw and extra time on Tuesday.
