The match between Inter and Barcelona is the one that rivets the attention on Tuesday. At the "Giuseppe Meazza" stadium, the two teams enter into a dispute for the second position. The visitors from Spain are serious favorites for the three points, but in the event of failure, they will have the opportunity to rematch in a week. The opponents will then meet at Camp Nou.
Relatively often, these two teams face each other in the Champions League tournament. Since the beginning of this century alone, there have been ten matches, with Inter winning only once, which happened in the semi-final in 2010. In six of the remaining nine matches, the ultimate winner is Barcelona. This includes the last two matches, which were won 2:1 three years ago.
So far, the performance of Inter and Barcelona in the current Group C is similar. Both teams lost 2-0 to Bayern Munich, but the Spanish team's performance against the group leaders was far better than the Italians'. As expected, there were no difficulties against the outsider Pilsen. He was defeated by Barcelona with 5:1, and Inter celebrated with a 2:0 success in the Czech Republic.
At the weekend, the Blaugranas continued their good performances in La Liga. Robert Lewandowski became a hero with the only goal of the game in a 1-0 success over Mallorca. So Barca is the new leader in the Spanish elite. The Nerazzurri suffered a second consecutive defeat in Serie A. It came at home with 1:2 in the derby with Roma.
Barcelona are favorites in Milan today and I think they will be able to celebrate with the three points. Inter's play has not been successful since the start of the season, with wins and losses of five in ten official matches. At this time, Lewandowski found his best form and Barca were the better team in all their matches, even in the only defeat against Bayern Munich.
