Tomorrow, Barça and Inter Milan will play for their future in the Champions League in a second leg match that promises to be historic. In the first leg, both teams drew 3-3 in a thrilling and emotional duel. Now, with the grand final at stake, only one of the two will be able to advance to the last stage of Europe's most prestigious tournament.
Both coaches are already preparing their respective plans. Simone Inzaghi, Inter's coach, will try to take advantage of the home field factor and Barça's defensive weaknesses. The Catalans arrive with significant absences, as they won't be able to count on Koundé or Balde, so Inter will try to exploit this fragility to overcome the tie.
Meanwhile, Hansi Flick is clear that Barça's chances of success depend on making the most of offensive opportunities. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha will be essential in this aspect, as their ability to break through and create will be key to overcoming the solid Italian defense. However, beyond the presence of the "11" and the "19", Flick has prepared another great surprise.
Hansi Flick Surprises with His Squad for Inter Milan
Hansi Flick already knows what is needed to beat Inter Milan, and that's why he has included Robert Lewandowski in the squad. The Pole, who was in doubt due to some physical discomfort, seemed unlikely to recover in time for the clash against Inter. However, to everyone's surprise, Flick has decided to include him in the list of called-up players.
Although Robert Lewandowski isn't expected to start, his mere presence on the bench is great news for Barça. The "9" could come in at any moment to bring his experience and leadership on the field, as well as being a moral and strategic support for the younger players.
Robert Lewandowski's return could have an impact beyond his physical performance. His wisdom and ability to read the game could be crucial in the most tense moments of the match. The mere presence of a player of his caliber could positively influence the development of the game in Barça's favor.
The inclusion of Robert Lewandowski has caused great excitement, both in Hansi Flick's plans and in those of Inter Milan. Now, Barça must be prepared to make the most of this opportunity and continue fighting for a place in the Champions League final. The winner will face the victor of the other tie between Arsenal and PSG.
