Barcelona's Glorious Season

Barca are on a roll, having already bagged two domestic titles this season. They've won 24 of their last 29 matches, with just a single defeat. They outclassed Dortmund 4-0 in the Champions League quarter-final first leg before a narrow 1-0 win over Leganes in La Liga. While they suffered a 3-1 defeat at Dortmund in the second leg, they bounced back with victories against Celta Vigo and Mallorca. Most recently, they edged out Real Madrid 3-2 in the Copa del Rey final, securing a memorable triumph.

## Barcelona Squad News

Coach Hansi Flick will have a near full-strength squad to select from, with Marc-André Ter Stegen expected to be on the bench following his return from injury. Marc Bernal and Marc Cassado are still out, while Alejandro Balde is nearing a return but might not make it in time for this clash due to a hamstring complaint. Ferran Torres could spearhead the attack, with Gavi and Fermin Lopez adding fresh legs to the midfield.

Barcelona's Drive

Flick's men have been playing electrifying football and are hungry for success. They will launch a relentless attack on Inter, aiming to secure a comfortable advantage heading into the second leg. Anything less than a victory would be disappointing for the Catalan giants.

Inter's Struggling Form

Inter have lost their last three matches, dropping to second place in Serie A with just a handful of games left to play. Coach Simone Inzaghi could be missing Benjamin Pavard due to an injury sustained in their last match. Marcus Thuram remains a doubt up front, while Denzel Dumfries and Piotr Zielinski should be available again. Alessandro Bastoni and Henrikh Mkhitaryan could return to the starting lineup after missing the last encounter.

Inter's Motivation

Confidence has taken a hit for the Italian club, having lost three straight games. Their focus will be on limiting the damage as they head to the Camp Nou. A draw would be seen as a win, while a narrow defeat would keep the door open for the second leg.
