Barça receives Inter Milan on Wednesday at the Olimpic LluÃs Companys in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals. A high voltage duel between two of the best teams in Europe that arrive at very different mood and sports times.
The Catalans face the clash with morality through the clouds after conquering the Copa del Rey last Saturday, beating Real Madrid 3-2 in the extension. Under the direction of Hansi Flick, the team has been very recognizable in Europe several years later, being undefeated at home in the present edition of the Champions League and averaging more than three goals per game in the competition.
On the individual level, Raphinha is emerging as one of Barça's main offensive threats. The Brazilian has been key in the European tournament and is the player with the most goal contributions of the competition, with a total of 19 (12+7). On the other hand, the presence of Robert Lewandowski for the first leg is discarded, so Raphinha will be accompanied by Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal.
Inter, meanwhile, arrives in Barcelona immersed in a crisis of results. Those of Simone Inzaghi have chained three consecutive losses, including a painful elimination in Coppa Italia at the hands of Milan (0-3) and a recent fall against Rome in series A (0-1).
In addition, the Italian team could face two important casualties: Benjamin Pavard suffered a sprain in the left ankle against Rome and is doubtful for the match, while Marcus Thuram continues to recover from a muscle injury.
Despite the adversities, Inter trusts in the inspiration of Lautaro MartÃnez, its top scorer this season, to lead the attack in Montjuïc. The Argentine proved to be decisive in the quarterfinal tie against Bayern and will be the main offensive reference of the Nerazzurri.
The recent history between both teams in Catalan territory favors Barça, which has won five of the last six clashes at home against Inter. However, the Italians have the remembered elimination of the Blaugrana team in the 2010 semifinals, when the team led by José Mourinho won the tie despite losing 1-0 in the Camp Nou thanks to the 3-1 of the first leg and later raised the title.
