Our prediction for this Champions League match:
All eyes will be on Camp Nou when Barcelona and Inter take on each other in the Champions League derby. Barca are eager to get their revenge on Inter for the 1-0 loss at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, and the bookies see them as favourites to win Wednesday’s showdown. Ferran Torres should drop to the bench after failing to impress in a 1-0 win over Celta Vigo, with Ousmane Dembele likely to step up. All Araujo, Bellerin, Christensen, Depay, Kessie, and Kounde should miss out with injuries for the home team.
The Nerazzurri, on the other hand, aim to retain second place in Group C, but seeing that Xavi’s troops are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are not tempted to put our money on the Serie A outfit. Romelu Lukaku faces race against clock to be fit for the match, while all Correa, Dalbert, and Brozovic are sidelined with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Robert Lewandowski):
After scoring 36 goals in 59 league games for Znicz Pruskow, Robert Lewandowski joined Lech Poznan in June, 2008. The 184-cm-tall attacker scored 18 goals in 28 appearances for the club in the 2009/2010 Ekstraklasa campaign and during the season he was on Borussia Dortmund’s radar.
The Polish forward signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga side in June, 2010 and he quickly established himself as the team’s key attacker. Lewandowski was producing excellent performances with the Millionaires between 2010 and 2014 and it has to be noted that he won two Bundesliga trophies with the club (2010/2011, 2011/2012). He participated in the 2012/2013 Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund, but the Millionaires were beaten by fellow Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in the title game.
However, he betrayed Borussia Dortmund fans in 2014 as he signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga giants. Lewandowski impressed in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign as he scored 30 goals in 32 league games for Pep Guardiola’s troops. The Polish footballer represented his homeland at Euro 2016 in France and he scored one goal at the showpiece tournament in France.
Highlighted Team (Inter):
Internazionale Milano, known as Internazionale, Inter or Inter named Milan, is a football club from Italy, founded on March 9, 1908 by a number of "rebels" who did not like in the regulations of the Milan Cricket and Football Club, now known as AC Milan. The main objection was that no foreign players were allowed. In 1928 the club merged with US Milanese and strongly entered a time when Ambrosiana-Inter survived.
The club, nicknamed the Nerazzurri or the blue / blacks has had many successes. This is how Inter Milan won 18 national titles, seven times the Italian Cup, the UEFA Cup 3x, and 3x times the Champions League, formerly known as the European Cup I.
