Match preview
Whether Lionel Messi is playing or not playing, the enthusiasm accumulated around this meeting has encircled the Argentine star. After fracturing his arm during a recent clash in La Liga against Sevilla, he could make his return to San Siro.
"He might be available, but we have to wait, let's see what he thinks of his safety," said head coach Valverde on the eve of the match. "I can not anticipate anything, but clearly we will not take any chances with Messi."
And neither him. Barcelona is well positioned to progress in Europe after a perfect start to the season that has already defeated them, rivals Tottenham Group, PSV and Inter.
On the national front, things are coming out well, even if they almost suffered a magnificent defeat against Real Vallecano at the end of the week. Goals scored by Ousmane Dembele and Luis Suarez in the last three minutes turned a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 win, although it was a timely warning that they could take nothing for granted.
The Inter is also shown a worthy side of respect. As Barcelona struggled on Saturday, Spalletti's side won 5-0 against Genoa, having already won impressive victories against Lazio and AC Milan to help them finish second in Serie A .
The coach may have greeted Messi as the best in the world, but Inter are more concerned about a very small Argentinean, Mauro Icardi, linked to his move to Real Madrid.
"Icardi is our captain and our point of reference," Javier Zanetti, vice president of Inter, told Marca, who rejected the possibility of a transfer.
"He is also very happy at Inter.We are not aware of any Real Madrid interest.We are aware that Inter is in good shape and that it is not necessary to sell to continue to respect the Financial Fair Play (FFP). "
Although things are going well for the Nerazzurri on the ground, they are also getting closer, with the lifting of restrictions on FFPs in the coming weeks.
A positive result against the Barca would be an amazing fate for the Italians.
