Barcelona's lineup against Inter Milan in today's Champions League

Barcelona's lineup against Inter Milan in today's Champions League

After the massive rotations in Zorrilla's match against Valladolid, Barcelona has a clear starting lineup for the decisive second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan . The decisive assault on the Munich final takes place this Tuesday, May 6, at the San Siro stadium, and Hansi Flick is missing a few players, but has the potential to field a team with the necessary guarantees to dream of a historic treble.

The German coach of the Catalan club will be without Jules Koundé for this key match, who was injured in the first leg at Montjuïc. His other starting full-back, Alejandro Balde, will also be unavailable, as he hasn't recovered in time to face the Italians. Marc Casadó, Marc Bernal, and Pablo Torre complete the Catalans' absences.

Barcelona's probable lineup against Inter
  • Szczesny; Eric Garcia, Cubarsí, Iñigo Martínez, Gerard Martín; Pedri, De Jong; Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Raphinha and Ferran Torres

There will only be two uncertainties at San Siro: who will play at left back and whether Fermín will operate ahead of Dani Olmo in the attacking midfield. The good news for the Catalans is the return of Robert Lewandowski, who has already been given the all-clear after several matches out due to injury.

It is clear that the Polish player Szczesny will play in goal , to the detriment of Ter Stegen, who was able to play in LaLiga after recovering from a serious injury.

The defense should consist of Eric Garcia and Gerard Martín as center-backs, while Pau Cubarsí and Iñigo Martínez could occupy the full-back positions. Perhaps Araujo could play as a center-back and move the Basque midfielder to the left, something Hansi Flick did in the Copa del Rey final and the first leg of the Champions League.

Lewandowski will wait on the bench against Inter

In midfield, both Pedri and Frenkie de Jong will start in the double pivot, while Dani Olmo , who has performed excellently so far this season, is gaining ground up front. Fermín, with his impressive performances, is also a strong candidate to start.

There's no doubt about the attack. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha will occupy the wings, and Ferran Torres , who didn't play this weekend in La Liga, will be the center forward. Robert Lewandowski will wait on the bench in case Flick needs him.

Inter Milan's probable lineup
  • Summer; Dumfries, Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni, Dimarco; Barella, Çalhanoglu, Mkhitaryan; Lautaro Martínez and Thuram

For its part, Inter travels to Barcelona with all players and repeats the same starting eleven it fielded in the first leg in Barcelona.
