⚽ The forward line

⚫🔵 Intertarg the upset, with or without Martinez

Inter may finally have some momentum on their side, but even with a bound tie and the home field advantage in the second stage on Tuesday, the Simone Inzaghi’s team that has been labeled as the Underdogs against Barcelona. It is not necessarily an unjust characterization-in-Inter can be a defensive Juggernaut, but that was not visible in last week’s 3-3 draw, plus they may be shortly before the second stage.

Lautaro Martinez and Benjamin Pavard run the risk of Tuesday’s match, while they are detailed with injuries, in the case of Martinez a hamstring problem that he collected in Barcelona last week, while Pavard’s is an ankle injury that is a few days older. Inzaghi played his cards close to his chest in his press conference for the game on Monday and described their status as a Gameday decision.

• Inzaghi: “We will decide tomorrow with the staff and the players. They will have to tell me how they feel. Pavard has good feelings, Lautaro has not trained since the Barcelona game. Let’s see how he is in training today.”

It is a situation that Marcus Thuram sets up as the center of Inter’s plans to reach the Champions League final, especially after his performance in Barcelona last week. The attacker is the second best goalkeeper of Inter this season with 18 goals in all competitions and will be counted to take advantage of Barcelona’s somewhat leaking defense, while set pieces can also be an important chance of scoring the Brace Van Denzel Dumfries last week. Whether it will all be enough to combat the power of a Barcelona led by Lamine Yamal is the big question and about …

🔵🔴 Barcelona’s high race continues

Barcelona arrives in Milan at the start of a crucial week for their high hope, both with a place in the Champions League final on the line in Tuesday’s match against Inter and with a crucial edition of El Clasico in La Liga Play on Sunday. Their fate is still in their hands when things are, especially in the Champions League after Robert Lewandowski had made the trip to Italy after a few weeks on the sidelines.

Although Lewandowski will be a big help if he can play a significant role against Inter, the center of attention will still be Lamine Yamal. Fresh from his impactful 100th performance for Barcelona in the first stage of last week, the 17-year-old the star of the show in front of Hansi Flick and has completely earned his status as the most exciting rising talent of the game. Take it from Inzaghi, whose task it is to find a way to limit Yamal’s skills, no matter how difficult the task is – the Inter Manager said that he will add some defensive layers to keep the Barcelona player at a distance while they participate in the long list of people who praise the teenager.

• Inzaghi: “We should not try to let him get the ball, but it is impossible. Of course he is marked double, a player who is closely monitored, and we will try to pay attention to him. Personally he is a huge talent; he is really dangerous and everyone gives him the ball.

With Lewandowski back in the mix, however, Barcelona could bring their full attacking power to Tuesday’s game in Milan. Between Lewandowski, Yamal and Raphinha alone, the group of Flick 86 scored goals in all competitions, out of an attack-first approach that enabled them to survive their rather frequent defensive errors. The aggregated score can even be, but this is Barcelona’s draw to lose, as prove last week’s dominant performance. Just as it was in last month’s Copa del Rey final, the responsibility for them is to realize it up to this moment.

• UEFA Champions League: winner
  💰 The Pick: Paris Saint-Germain to win the Champions League (+115) -Parijs Saint-Germain comes in this week as the favorites to win the Champions League, perhaps helped by the fact that they are the only team that has an advantage on their way to the second stage. Yet it is not necessarily an undeserved title for the French champions – since they come into their own in the new year, they have received the better of Manchester City, Liverpool and Aston Villa on their way to the semi -final. They also gave Arsenal many problems in the first stage of last week, and maybe they just have a playing style that makes them almost impossible to beat. There is a compelling matter that PSG is currently the team to beat, especially after surviving the early difficulties of the season.
