Match preview
Barcelona will look to give their Champions League knockout round hopes a huge boost when they host Inter Milan at Camp Nou on Wednesday night.
The Catalan club is third in Group C, three points behind second-placed Inter, who defeated the Catalans 1-0 at San Siro last week.
Barcelona failed to advance past the group stage in the Champions League last season, and the club is facing that possibility again this season, with three points from three matches leaving them third in Group C, three points behind second-placed Inter and six points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
Inter came into last week’s match against Barcelona having lost consecutive Serie A matches to Udinese and Roma, but a fantastic performance allowed them to take all three points.
Simone Inzaghi’s side lost 2-0 to Bayern in their section opener on September 7, but won 2-0 away to Plzen before beating Barcelona, and a total of six points has put them in second place, three points behind Bayern, who are the overwhelming favourites to win the group.
The Black and Blues were defeated 2-1 at Camp Nou in the group stage of the 2019-20 competition, but Barcelona have lost three of their last six Champions League matches in front of their own fans, which should give the visitors confidence.
