Team News

Inter Milan:
Simone Inzaghi faces significant absences with star forward Lautaro Martinez and experienced defender Benjamin Pavard ruled out through injury. The attacking burden shifts to Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa, while midfielders Zielinski and Frattesi will be pivotal in setting the tempo and supporting forward transitions. Inter’s recent scoring drought adds pressure ahead of a critical European night.

Barcelona:
Hansi Flick’s squad is also hit by injuries, notably missing Robert Lewandowski and defenders Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde. However, the form of Gavi, Pedri, and Fermin Lopez has kept the midfield operating at a high level. Young forwards Ansu Fati and Pau Victor are expected to lead the line, supported by a defensive core led by Ronald Araujo.
