Alejandro Balde and Robert Lewandowski as part of Inter

Barcelona and Inter will loosen their medical teams on their stars in the coming hours because they are trying to prepare their stars for the second on -board of their semi -finals of the Champions League. Both teams will go back to the injuries to nursing.

For her part, the blue grana was afraid of warming up when Lamin Yamal went into the changing room early. The 17-year-old was fit to play, but Jules Kounde went down with an injury and will probably miss the second leg against Inter.

Hansi Flick: “We didn't start well. We experienced ups and downs. The second half was spectacular. The second leg will be like a final before the final.”

The question now turns to whether Barcelona will get any players back, with all the eyes on Robert Lewandowski and Alejandro Balde.

“We hope you may be able to play earlier, but we have to wait. In this situation we cannot do stupid things, so we have to wait until the medical team ok, green light as we did with lamine today,” said Hansi Flick of the press in Montjuic.

Lewandowski maintains a knee hinge injury that he suffered about 10 days ago, while Balde went on a knee tendon problem. According to RAC1, Balde is on track to be back in Italy. There is more doubts as to whether Lewandowski will be back in time, but it is also not excluded. Flick's answer seems to imply that you also have the chance to return to Real Valladolid this weekend.

How will Barcelona change for Inter in the second leg?

If Balde returns from an injury, it will immediately have less headache for Flick, which would give it back to the left instead of Gerard Martin. Although his goals came from Set pieces, Barcelona tried to control Denzel Dumfries, and he also set himself an assist.

Lewandowski would present Barcelona more in the box for the second leg if available. This could be useful if Inter is deep and the contrast between Ferran Torres and the Polish striker was one of the recipes for success this season. Counds have to be replaced, however, and Eric Garcia seems to replace the most natural option, although Ronald Araujoa and Hector Fort are also alternatives.
