Inter head to Spain for their crucial Champions League semi-final first leg clash off the back of three consecutive defeats in all competitions.
The Nerazzurri have fallen three points behind Napoli in the race for the Serie A title after losing 1-0 to Roma on Sunday.
Prior to that, arch rivals Milan thrashed Simone Inzaghi’s side 3-0 in the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg. That result gave the Rossoneri a fine 4-1 aggregate victory.
With their treble chances over, Inzaghi knows his players must give it their all at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. 15 years ago at this stage of the competition, Inter got the better of Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona.
However, the LaLiga giants are enjoying a rich vein of form heading into the game. Hansi Flick’s charges are top of the league and won the Copa del Rey on Saturday.
Having developed a young and fearless squad, Barca will be gunning to reach their first UCL final in 10 years. At the same time, they’ll know just how tough the Inter challenge will be. The Serie A giants haven’t lost in their last 15 away games in Europe’s slite club competition.

Barcelona Vs Inter Team News
Robert Lewandowski is the biggest absentee for Barcelona. The Polish goal machine suffered a hamstring injury earlier this month. He also remains a doubt for the second leg.
Marc Bernal and Marc Casado will also miss the game but head coach Hansi Flick is able to welcome back goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Meanwhile, Inter were dealt an injury blow as star defender Benjamin Pavard limped off against Roma on Sunday. The French international is rated at 50/50 for the return leg.
Compatriot Marcus Thuram will travel to Spain but it’s unlikely he’ll start having missed the last batch of games with a thigh problem. Denzel Dumfries and Piotr Zielinski are also expected to be in the matchday squad.

Barcelona vs Inter Prediction
The Barcelona vs Inter 2010 Champions League semi-final lineups were littered with star names. Although there may not be as many on offer this year, there is still some serious world class talent who are set to shine.
Ballon d’Or favourite Raphinha and global superstar Lamine Yamal certainly have it in their locker to hurt the Nerazzurri.
However, Lautaro Martinez has been lethal in the UCL as well this term. We are expecting Simone Inzaghi’s side to try and frustrate their hosts but ultimately, we are predicting that they’ll come up short.
Prediction: Barcelona 3-2 Inter
