Inter vs. Barcelona: preview, predictions and lists

The first participant in the Champions League 2025 will be decided on Tuesday evening, as an Inter moderator Barcelona in the second leg of her semi -finals.

Although Simone Inzaghis Nerazzurri occurred in poor domestic form, he found further equipment in Catalonia and raced in an early 2-0 lead. After all, they were fed back, but the Italians would undoubtedly have been satisfied with the work of their evening. A 3-3 draw means that this week it can play everything in San Siro.

Inzaghi’s men are fighting Napoli for the Scudetto, but at the weekend there was little change at the summit, since both title hops had won 1-0 wins.

Barcelona remains clear four points at the head of La Liga, after he was beaten 2-1 with 2-1 on Saturday and the low point of the table. While Inters Treble hopes have been overthrown in the past few weeks, Barca’s are still very alive. The Copa del Rey Victors need a great achievement in a difficult environment on Tuesday to get ahead, but the side of Hansi Flick is more than able to blow away their hard -working hosts.

Here is Sports Illustrateds Guide to the second leg of the semi -final of the couple’s champion.

Inter vs. Barcelona head-to-head record (last five games)

Current form (all competitions)

Lautaro Martinez suffered a thigh injury in Catalonia last week, but has not yet excluded the second leg. The intermediate captain is desperate to play, and his admission to Inzaghi’s start-Xi will probably be a decision for the season.

If Lautaro is not fit, either Mehdi Taremi or Marko Arnautovic begins next to Marcus Thuram.

However, Benjamin Pavard is outside, so we will see how Yann biseck is set up on the right side in inters back.

Hakan Calhanoglu is available after a home lock on weekends.

Inter Predicted list against Barcelona (3-5-2): Summer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Mkhitaryan, Calhanoglu, Barella, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram

Robert Lewandowski is back in the Barcelona squad after a month, but Alejandro Balde will not travel to Milan due to the problem of the knee tendon, which has kept him out of the first leg.

Lewandowski should be back in Flicks, and the manager will probably decide between Gerard Martin and Hector Fort with left -back. Inigo Martinez is another option.

Jules Kound’s absence is a big blow, although the Frenchman has not yet recovered from the thigh injury he had suffered last week. Eric Garcia or Ronald Araujo should deactivate the former Sevilla defender in the right-back.

Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Frenkie de Jong and Pau Comatarsi were out of Flick’s XI on Saturday, but the quartet will be back on Tuesday.

Barcelona predicted the line-up against Inter (4-2-3-1): Szczesny; Garcia, Araujo, Commessi, Martinez; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski.

Inter used a team in Barcelona that was unable to provide their usual intensity last week. In addition, their vulnerability of set pieces was ruthlessly used by Denzel Dumfries.

Araujo’s probable admission will help to alleviate the main threat of Inter, but signs of Barca fatigue are a problem. The hosts, who are so methodical and precise, will create opportunities against an aggressive line of defense.

Inter should also be more convenient to defend her box on home soil, but Barca’s overwhelming talent in forward positions could prove as a difference. They are blessed with the best in the world. If there is a lamine yamal in your team, there is always a way.

Prediction: Inter 1-2 Barcelona
