Barcelona vs Inter Milan – Barcelona’s improvised defencee held fast in a 1-0 victory against Celta Vigo over the weekend to keep them in first place in La Liga going into two games that might have a major impact on the season. Normally, an approaching El Clásico would take precedence, but with Barcelona third in Group C and the possibility of missing the UEFA
Until this game, all attention must be on the Champions League (UCL) knockout rounds. After losing 1-0 in the second leg at the San Siro last week, Barça’s match against second-place Inter Milan looms crucial if they are to avoid meeting similar fate.

Barcelona may not be as intimidating of an opponent as they once were given that they have won just two of their past nine UEFA home games (D3, L4), but they won’t be taken lightly after winning four straight competitive games at the Spotify Camp Nou, their best home run since April 2021.
Barcelona vs Inter Milan – Betting Analysis
Other teams might not have found the trip to Camp Nou intimidating, but Inter have—the team has lost more UCL away games here (five) than anywhere else)! Even though Inter entered this game with a two-match winning streak, they have struggled in Serie A this year (W5, L4), and their last away UCL victory in Spain was back in October 2004 (D1, L7 afterwards). These facts suggest that Inter’s burgeoning winning streak will be seriously threatened tonight.
But records are made to be broken, and Inter shattered one with their 1-0 victory at home in the return leg—it was their first UCL victory over a Spanish team since 2010, the year they went on to win the championship!
A victory for Inter would not only help them take first place in Group C, but it would also make them the first Italian team to defeat Barça twice in a single UCL season as they gear up for their 50th UEFA meeting against Spanish opposition! However, Inter would need to break a few more records along the way because they are yet to win three straight matches this year and have never won three consecutive UCL away games.
Players to keep an eye on: Robert Lewandowski, who scored three goals in his Barça home UCL debut against Viktoria Plze, has a chance to become just the third player to score three goals in consecutive home UCL games. Edin Deko scored two goals for Inter over the weekend and assisted on both goals (G1, A1) in their most recent UCL away victory.
