Hansi Flick’s possible XI for Tuesday’s big game Barcelona will look to book a spot in the Champions League Final for the first time in a decade as they travel to Italy to face Inter Milan in the second leg of their semi-final tie The first leg was a wild contest that ended in a 3-3 draw in the Catalan capital and left everything to be decided at San Siro and the atmosphere there should be all kinds of crazy as the two sides fight for a spot in the title match Here’s how we think Hansi Flick will line up his troops for Tuesday’s battle Flick made nine changes to his starting lineup and got all three points against Real Valladolid at the weekend resting several of his key stars to have them as close to fresh as possible for what could be a 120-minute war There are major questions surrounding the defense with Jules Kounde ruled out through injury and Alejandro Balde’s status still uncertain as of this writing so we think Flick will stick with the back four that played most of the second half last week with Eric García at right-back Ronald Araujo and Pau Cubarsí in the middle If there are many doubts surrounding the defense there are no such questions regarding the midfield trio: Frenkie de Jong and Pedri each rested for 45 minutes at the weekend and should be fresh to go the distance in this one and Dani Olmo also played very little against Valladolid to make sure he’s at his best for this one Fermín López and Gavi can provide much-needed energy in the second half and/or extra-time Lamine Yamal played just a little over 50 minutes and Raphinha only played in the second half at the weekend while Ferran Torres was rested for the entire game against Valladolid so Flick can count on his front three to be pretty fresh and ready to be decisive in Italy and lead Barça to Munich Robert Lewandowski could have minutes in the second half but the Pole is unlikely to start even if he makes the squad How do you think Barcelona should line up against Inter predictions and teams in the comments below playFlick: Yamal has to stay calm to reach the level of Messi & Ronaldo (0:39)Hansi Flick praises Lamine Yamal and speaks about his development Lewandowski, 36, has missed Barça's last four games with the problem, including the Copa del Rey final win against Real Madrid and the first leg against Inter The Poland striker has subsequently been included in Barça's squad for this week's match at San Siro Robert Lewandowski has been named in Barcelona's squad to face Inter on Tuesday. Alex Caparros/Getty ImagesHowever, left-back Alejandro Balde has not recovered in time and will not feature against Inter The defender injured his hamstring on April 12 and there was initially hope he would return for the tie against the Serie A champions, but he will now focus on being ready for Sunday's LaLiga Clásico against Real Madrid instead Barça coach Hansi Flick said Lewandowski would start the game on the bench "Everything goes in the right way," Flick said in a news conference regarding Lewandowski's fitness Flick also called on his players to go out an enjoy the occasion against Inter, reminding people that no one expected Barça to be in this position at the start of the season, fighting for a treble, and echoing comments from midfielder Dani Olmo that the atmosphere in the dressing room is "like a party." "Do you think I have to make pressure on [the players]?" Flick added no one had any idea what we achieved until now Now we win two titles already [the Spanish Supercopa and the Copa del Rey] "Now we have important weeks, important matches to win two more [LaLiga and the Champions League] Barça are aware of the challenge that awaits them against Inter They trailed 2-0 and 3-2 at home last week and struggled to deal with the threat of Simone Inzaghi's side from set plays "The set pieces we have to defend much better," Flick said Barça will also be without their right sided full-back in Italy, with Jules Koundé absent with a hamstring issue picked up in last week's first leg against Inter Last week's first leg ended in a 3-3 draw at the Olympic Stadium, leaving everything to play for when the teams meet again on Tuesday for a place in the final against either Paris Saint-Germain or Arsenal in Munich on May 31 Former Barcelona captain warns Barcelona of Inter’s threat – ‘They will not sit deep’ Premier League clubs eye Barcelona defender as exit looms Sources: Manchester United ready to offer €80 million for Barcelona captain Barcelona have everything in place for teenage star’s renewal but there is a small hurdle Complete list of the missing players for Inter Milan vs Barcelona Ferran start in a 4-2-3-1 – How Barcelona can line up against Inter Milan How Real Madrid attempted a football robbery — but were stopped by FC Barcelona Ferran start in a 4-2-3-1 – How Barcelona can line up against Real Madrid Olmo start in a 4-2-3-1 – How Barcelona can line up against Mallorca The two alternatives Hansi Flick can explore to replace injured Lewandowski Three talking points ahead of Inter Milan vs Barcelona | UEFA Champions League Three talking points from Real Valladolid 1-2 Barcelona | La Liga Raphinha 8.5 | Real Valladolid 1-2 Barcelona: Player ratings Three talking points ahead of Real Valladolid vs Barcelona | La Liga GW 34 Three talking points from Barcelona 3-3 Inter Milan Three key battles that could decide Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund Mbappe arrived but Barcelona evolved: Flick’s tactical triumph over Real Madrid’s Galactico attack Robert Lewandowski – Barcelona’s ageless goal machine leading the title charge Beyond transfers: Deco’s blueprint for Barcelona’s long-term success Back at the top: Pedri reclaims his throne as the best midfielder in the world Marc Casado: Barcelona’s next great pivot Ranking all 15 La Masia talents that made their Barcelona debut under Xavi Barcelona talented La Masia graduate’s market value rises to €75 million Barcelona delighted with the progress of 15-year-old La Masia talent – report ‘La Masia is the essence of Barça’ – Barcelona academy gem reacts after La Liga debut Deco wants to build Barcelona’s future with La Masia Lautaro Martinez’s fitness has been the hottest topic heading into the second leg clash between Barcelona and Inter Milan The Argentine international picked up an injury in the first half and couldn’t continue beyond the first half.

between the top-scoring Barcelona and the stingiest defense in the competition turned into a shootout “We saw a fantastic match and we knew that semifinals are difficult We could even have won,” Inter coach Simone Inzaghi said “Our fans know that we’ve been giving our utmost in difficult times and we know that Tuesday will be a ‘final.’” Except for Inter’s start and strength in set pieces Barcelona imposed its game and had 66% possession and created 10 shots on goal to Inter’s three according to UEFA’s stats — but had to settle for a draw Dumfries then put Inter into what appeared to be a comfortable lead when he scored his first of two goals with a bicycle kick after a corner kick was headed onto him in the 21st Yamal sparked Barcelona into action in the 24th when he dribbled past two defenders and sliced a shot in off the far post He went close to an equalizer moments later after gliding down the endline and firing a shot with just a sliver off an angle off the crossbar in the big matches you can see his quality and he showed it today,” Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said about his forward “I knew that this was a semifinal between great clubs and I knew that the huge experience they have was being demonstrated His goal to make it 2-1 was so important.” Ferran Torres rammed in a headed pass by Raphinha to equalize for Barcelona in the 38th Raphinha needed two minutes to pull Barcelona level again when his blistering shot from outside the top of the box struck the crossbar ricocheted off the back of goalkeeper Yann Sommer and found the net we had the obligation to win,” Raphinha said “But the result is not that bad and we will prepare for the second game so we come out on top.” Barcelona is trying to reach its first final since 2015 the Spanish club is also trying to

Any target and pursuit is moot until they do. The uncertainty about their bench also slows down their transfer market plans. He’s likely to leave in the summer, as Genoa don’t have other assets to foot their summer unless their new owner completely shifts their MO allowing them to keep all their core players The Rossoneri don’t need too much depth without the Champions League and already made a decent investment in the position in January Related NewsBrentford leading race for Genoa’s Morten Frendrup Report: Liverpool rival Euro giants for transfer of midfield “game-changer” Player Ratings: Genoa 1-2 Milan – Leao Lethal Off The Bench Sign InJoinSerie A Liveblog: Genoa vs Theo Hernandez’s corner is brought down by Jovic who tees it off for Reijnders on the edge of the area but the Dutchman is off target and Genoa have a goal kick Vasquez steps in to stop Pulisic on the break Frendrup with the first shot of the second half but he drags well wide of Maignan’s net from 25 yards out Conceicao deep in conversation with Reijnders and Loftus-Cheek in the tunnel before the start of the second half Alessandro Zanoli getting ready to come on for Genoa at the interval Maignan and Leali both had big saves to make in the first half Koni De Winter strong right on the edge of the area to outmuscle Theo Hernandez Milan still had numbers forward from the corner but the onrushing Leali stopped him at point-blank range this time it doesn’t make it further than five yards away from the corner flag who slips on the byline and gives Milan a corner The corner falls for Sabelli on the edge of the area but his shot is comfortable for Maignan to claim Junior Messias wins a Genoa corner after his shot is deflected by Pavlovic in the area Space opens up for Theo Hernandez to drive down the centre of the pitch and he fires a shot at Leali from 25 yards out Frendrup hauls down Jimenez on the half-way line The Spaniard angered by the lack of booking Frendrup lines up a shot on Maignan’s goal but completely shanks it and sends it miles over A delay before the corner for Sabelli to receive treatment – He was wiped out by a teammate in the build-up Pulisic’s corner causes sevral bodies to hit the deck but no fouls given and Genoa hook it clear Loftus-Cheek into the midfield with Reijnders Leao to his usual position out on the left Thorsby penalised for a strong challenge on Jimenez just past the half-way line looks like Leao will be introduced earlier than expected Fofana is down receiving treatment in the centre-circle Related NewsBarcelona continue to maintain interest in top Bundesliga defender despite mounting obstacles How Real Madrid’s poor planning ruined a season full of promise Celtic left Ibrox with point and a new song taken from the Rangers Celtic to take on Newcastle United in adidas Trophy at Celtic Park Hancko: Feyenoord star tracked by top clubs in Europe and Saudi Arabia Milan ruined Inter's bid for a treble and advanced to the Coppa Italia final with a 3-0 derby win on Wednesday courtesy of two goals from Luka Jovic It was Milan's third win over Inter this season having also beaten the Nerazzurri in the Italian Super Cup final in January And if Milan can win another trophy, coach Sérgio Conceição might have a chance at keeping his job -- despite the seven-time European champions sitting ninth in Serie A and likely to miss out on a spot in continental play for next season Milan advanced on 4-1 aggregate following a 1-1 first leg As you know we are not that good in Serie A "And we showed it and we are going to Rome."

Inter will play Barcelona in the Champions League semifinals The stakes have not been higher for Barcelona in a long time now as they are heading into Tuesday night’s clash in Milan the Catalans are 90 minutes away from sealing a place in the final of the UEFA Champions League and redemption seems to be just around the corner so are Inter Milan and the Italians will have the home advantage in the all-important second leg What’s more, is that they will have both Lautaro Martinez and Benjamin Pavard fit while Barcelona will once again be without Alejandro Balde Several factors will influence the result tomorrow night but Barcelona have control over the most important one – the football played on the field There is no denying that the Catalans are the better team heading into the game and they will hope it is enough to get over the line and seal a place in the elusive UCL finale Barça Universal brings you three talking points ahead of Inter Milan vs Barcelona Barcelona’s situation on the full-back front is far from ideal heading into the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal against Inter Milan tomorrow night Alejandro Balde missed the first leg through an injury and was always expected to make it back in time to face the Italian giants for the reverse fixture has not quite gone to plan and the youngster is still a few days away from returning to complete fitness Barcelona will thus be without their star left-back once more Jules Kounde left the field injured in the first leg with a niggle and is also unavailable for the reverse leg leaving Barcelona without both of their top full-backs ahead of the game It is a massive blow to Barcelona’s attacking chances against Inter and covering the gaping holes will be a massive task for Hansi Flick Eric Garcia and Gerard Martin may start at right and left-back respectively but it is safe to say that the situation is far from ideal ahead of the most important game of the season The one metric that matches Barcelona and the Nerrazzuri after the first 90 minutes at Montjuic is the scoreline does not do justice to the game that unfolded adequately for there was a stark difference between Barcelona and Inter Milan in terms of the quality and quantity of chances created Flick’s men were superior with their chance creation and created significantly higher xG on the night buried every chance that came their way and scored low-probability goals against all odds they earned the ticket back home with a favourable draw to take back with them At the semifinal level of the UEFA Champions League will undoubtedly open up the hosts’ backline on occasions tomorrow but all that will matter will be their clinical finishing taking their chances will hold the key to the victory that Barcelona last took to the field in the semifinal of the UEFA Champions League they walked in with their heads held high defending a 3-0 lead and took to the field at Anfield for a night that would go down in history as one of their greatest embarrassments There are several parallels between that season and the current one for Barcelona right from the team once again being at the cusp of a treble to them staring a place in the final in the eye the Catalans must look to avenge the defeat they suffered years ago in this stage of the competition for a place in the final of the UCL is only a whisker away The team now is starkly different to the one that started at Anfield Barcelona are no longer the fragile wreck that they were at the time A win tomorrow will be a statement that Barcelona have extinguished the ghosts of the past They will be wearing a very similar jersey colour to the one they lost to Liverpool but the goal will be to celebrate after the 90 minutes at San Siro and rewrite history The visitors, fresh from their advance to the Coppa Italia final after a 3-0 semifinal second leg win over neighbours Inter Milan on Wednesday scored early and finished off a brave Venezia with another goal on the stroke of full-time Milan remain ninth in the standings on 54 points, while Venezia are second from bottom on 25 points, one point off 17th-placed Lecce who are just outside the relegation

perhaps their most important match of the season so far when they take on Inter Milan in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals The Blaugrana played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in the first leg at home pulling off a fine comeback after having gone two goals behind early in the game Barcelona are hoping to make it to the finals of the competition for the first time in a decade but it will be anything but easy against a tough Inter side in their home Barça head coach Hansi Flick spoke to the media in his pre-match press conference shedding light on the team’s preparation for the huge encounter “Should I put more pressure on the players nobody knew at the start of the season how we would be now,” said Flick discussing the atmosphere in the dressing room “We want to enjoy ourselves and at the moment that’s the way it is I’m sure that’s what Olmo means by ‘fiesta,’“ he added Denzel Dumfries was the biggest threat for Barcelona in the first leg scoring two goals and posing a threat from the right flank as well as in set-piece situations On how the Catalans plan to deal with him tomorrow we have to defend much better and there might be some changes On any particular player from Inter Milan that he sees as a major threat he added: “I don’t focus on any specific player they are very effective and very experienced,” he further stated Robert Lewandowski earned his medical clearance earlier today and has been named in the Barcelona squad for the trip to Milan Providing an update on the veteran striker’s condition “Lewandowski is feeling good and can be available on the bench if we need him.” On the performances of Lamine Yamal the 60-year-old tactician added: “I’ve been here for eight months now I want the players to be at the highest level.” When asked if not having enough experienced players in the squad could be a problem for the semi-final every player improves when they play this type of match you have to enjoy the semi-final and show your teammates how good you are Discussing the absence of key defenders Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde and how Barcelona can make up for it the absences of Kounde and Balde are important On if he had any motivational messages or videos for players leading up to the game I think we are playing very well and we have to show it.” Talking about the match and how the managers can impact it from the touchline “Football is very complex and you have to take many factors into account I hope we make better changes than Inter can make They have fantastic players up front and we will also have to stop their build-up phase The players have to show how good they are Barcelona were particularly vulnerable while defending corners in the first leg And whether one of the strategies to avoid such a situation was to ensure they do not concede corners we have talked about it and the players know what they have to do.” Source: Mundo Deportivo Geoffrey Moncada (AC Milan via Getty Images) Geoffrey

Christian Pulisic has been one of Milan’s most consistent players all season. With 10 goals and 8 assists, the U.S. star continues to be a bright spot in Milan’s attack. He’s expected to start again, leading a front line that includes Rafael Leao and Tammy Abraham. Genoa, on the other hand, are sitting mid-table with 39 points. They’re not in danger of relegation, but also out of reach of the top seven. That makes them a bit unpredictable—and dangerous. They’ve held Milan to two draws in their last two meetings, including a 3–3 shootout and a 0–0 draw. Genoa: Leali; Norton-Cuffy, De Winter, Vasquez, Martin; Frendrup, Masini, Thorsby; Messias, Pinamonti, Vitinha AC Milan: Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Jimenez, Fofana, Reijnders, Hernandez; Pulisic, Abraham, Leao This is the kind of late-season match that can turn a season around—or put it to rest. Milan need the win. Genoa would love to play spoiler. And for fans, it’s a great excuse to stream a high-stakes match with some serious talent on the field.
