Barcelona arrives in a sparkling form, fresh from a dramatic 3-2 extension victory against the bitter rival Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final. This victory secured a second trophy of the season and kept the dreams of a height alive. They are also the top of the La Liga, four points ahead of Real Madrid with five games.

Despite a complete schedule and the signs of fatigue – seven starters played in the final every 120 minutes – it is expected to stick to the same XI. The German -approved rotation is almost impossible and says that the size of the game requires full commitment.

Robert Lewandowski remains with a knee tendon problem from the thigh, so that Ferran Torres will lead the attack that is flanked by Raphhinha and Lamin Yamal. Dani Olmo will operate with Pedri and Frenkie de Jong in midfield behind the front. Szczęsny is expected to keep its place between the posts, although Ter Stegen is not yet ready.

In the press conference before the game, Flick warned of inters defensive skills: “Inter will be very difficult, they are one of the best defenders in Europe. They have a great midfield and a great full -back. We have to be prepared.”

In the meantime, interdesses have fallen into half -time after a great week. In the last round, they scratched a total of 4: 3 past Bayern Munich, but have been expelled from Coppa Italia since then and have dropped important points in series A and now took second place with three points behind Napoli. Your triple dream is dead. So the Champions League offers redemption.

Simone Inzaghi feels the pressure, but he does not withdraw. “We come from a bad week, but we can and we have to do it better,” he insisted in the press before the game. “We are happy about the game that we will play against the best team in the world tomorrow. We have maximum respect, but don't be afraid.”

It is expected to start with Lautaro Martinez in front, although Marcus Thuram is a doubt. Marko Arnautovic could occur if the Frenchman does not recover. In midfield, Hakan Calhanoglu, Nicolo Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan will dictate the pace and be in their best sabotage Barcelonas Slick Passing game.

“Flick is a fantastic coach who gave a very attacking team a lot of organization,” said Inzaghi. “You scored over 150 goals this season … We have to move the ball well, be clean and defend as a team.”

Barcelona has not reached a Champions League final for ten years. Inter lost the final of last season against Manchester City. Both clubs know what is at stake, and nor do the last seated seats want to be on a couch in June.
