Match Overview

Heading into the Barcelona vs Inter Milan game, both teams know that they are expected to deliver a strong performance. The travelling Inter Milan fans will be expecting it from Simone Inzaghi’s team to deliver a good showing at the Estadi de Montjuïc, while the home fans will be rooting for Barcelona to do even better.

Either way, this game promises to give both coaches a hard time, and their players will need to remain vigilant at all times. Concentration will undoubtedly be key here, and Barcelona will need to be particularly aware as they deploy their high line.

In terms of form, however, there is a lot to worry about when it comes to the recent displays from Inter Milan. The Italian side has lost all three of their last three games, and have a record of three losses, one draw, and one win in their last five games across all competitions.

They have conceded a total of 8 goals across those five games, and have managed to score five goals themselves. Interestingly, however, Inzaghi’s team has also failed to score a single goal in their last three outings and have not kept a clean sheet in their previous nine games.

Barcelona, on the other hand, are flying in terms of form. Having just won the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid, Hansi Flick’s side is full of confidence right now. They have four wins and one draw in their last five games, having scored ten goals while having conceded eight goals in the process.

This balance is undoubtedly worrying, as Barcelona are leaking a lot of goals. Moreover, Hansi Flick will need to sort out this issue as soon as possible if he wants his team to do well in the remaining games. Against Inter Milan, even a single mistake could be costly, so Barcelona will need to stay on their toes.

Since the first leg is at the Estadi de Montjuïc, there will be some extra pressure on Barcelona to get a good result here before they head to the San Siro. However, with players like Lamine Yamal and Pedri, Hansi Flick’s side has the quality to really hurt Inzaghi’s team.
