The match against Barcelona will probably be the toughest test of the season for us. We are aware of the attacking capabilities of Barcelona against average or weaker defenses, but Inter has surprised us this season with their disciplined defense. Inter is coming after a very poor performance against Peru, but this should only motivate the team even more against such a strong opponent. Barcelona should also not play an open game, as against such an opponent, one mistake could cost them the final.
Even though Barca is a goal guarantee this season, don't expect much in the first leg match against Inter in the Champions League semi-finals. Inter knows how to play defensively, and after winning the King's Cup, we will also see what form Barca will be in. I think it will be a match with lots of scrutiny and not many goals.
The loss of Lewandowski here is a big one, but at the moment there is a rise in Ferranas, who compensates for this loss. This is also a characteristic of Flick's Barca, as they have players to replace essential ones and endless variations. This season is going smoothly so far. The Polish player is doing great in goal. Raphinha and Yamalis are showing incredible skill. Of course, it won't be easy here. Inter is a strong and well-built team. Their lineup has been together for several years. However, the essential thing is that Inter is going through a tough period. They haven't won four games in a row. The last one was a tragedy – a 0-3 loss to Milan in the cup. Serie A has lost its leader status and now everything is in Napoli's hands, as even Inter is not in control of the situation. I believe Barca will score at least two goals here, comfortably securing their spot in the next round against Milan. In my opinion, Barca will also have a boost after winning the cup against a major rival.
Where Barsa usually dominates and I don't expect anything else here. The attack of Bayern is probably the best in all of Europe and even without Lewandowski I think they can still score a lot of goals because Ferran does a great job replacing him. + Inter has been showing strong defense lately. Although Inter hasn't been scoring many goals recently, they have potential in the front. Against Barca, it's always possible to find cracks in their high defensive line, so I think the Italians will make their mark here. I think the Catalans will win 3-1.
