The Big Preview: Tactical Battles and Crucial Returns
Some seriously good news for Inter fans: Lautaro Martínez is back! He missed the first leg through injury, but his return, along with Calhanoglu, could be a game-changer for Inzaghi's side. They’ll need all the firepower they can get. Barcelona, meanwhile, has Lewandowski, though he might start from the bench. And let's not forget young Yamal – that kid's a whirlwind; he could turn the game on its head in a flash.
The tactical battle between Inzaghi and Flick is going to be fascinating. Inter, with their usual 3-5-2, will be relying on home advantage and their pace down the wings. Barcelona, with their 4-2-3-1, will aim to dominate possession and carve out chances with their incredibly talented attackers.
Home Advantage and History
The San Siro is going to be electric. The Inter fans will be absolutely roaring – their support could be the difference. But let’s be realistic, history between these two sides is pretty evenly matched. It's a tale of close encounters and tight results; Barcelona has only managed to win once in their last six away games against Inter in European competition. That's a pretty interesting stat, isn't it?
