Tamed by its Milanese rival in the Italian Cup and now preceded by Naples in the final sprint for the Scudetto, theInter Milan crosses a delicate period. The Italian champion can save his season by entering the history of European football.
To do this, the interlists will have to achieve a small feat by leaving a double-confrontation that they do not approach with a favorite status. Faced with the best attack on this edition of the Champions League, the Inter, best defense, will try to offer an antidote.
Marcus Thuram, a strong link in Inter.
Simone Inzaghi should still rely on a well-oiled system in 3-5-2, despite the difficulties of the moment. Inter master this scheme too much to embark on an experimental tactic in the semi-finals of the prestigious Champions League.
Martinez-Thuram, the duo that hurts
While Sommer is expected in the goals and will have to bring all his experience in the face of the Blaugrana artillerymen, the defense with three should be composed of Bisseck, Acerbi and Bastoni. On the sides, the very offensive Dumfries and Dimarco will have a key role, just like the Barella-Calhanoglu-MKHITaryan environment.
Finally, the Inter will count on its doublet offensive Lautaro Martinez-Marcus Thuram to pose problems to a Barcelona defense far from being infallible. The Argentinian and the French, very accomplices, are the great craftsmen of the journey of their team.
The expected composition for inter : SOMMER; Bisseck, acerbi, bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram.
