CL Semi Final: Barca - Inter

[MonteCuler]

Same thoughts — lots of older players from football-obscure countries, and they even have Arnautović (who was part of their squad in 2010). If we have an off day at San Siro, it's over. We need to win by a good margin at home.

Well against Bayern they looked better away than at home, San Siro is not so much of a fortress at least not for fake Milan (Inter)

1 goal advantage win would be nice because we can score on San Siro too. Also to avoid any relax like we saw against Dortmund.

After what happend at Dortmund I'm not sure anymore if I want Barca to gain a good score difference in the 1st leg for the return leg at Milano anymore. Not even a two goal difference doesn't sound optimal, nor a four one.

We would take Inter more serious than this Dortmund Team.

We'll crush them

Yeah but how serious?

Barca, this season has a whole history of underestimating opponents in some matches, some of that might also occur in a semifinal too, I have no doubts it can.

The way I envision this tie, is a controlled approach like vs AM away in the 1-0 win. That's the blueprint. Don't rush it, play cautious in defense. Because we have the technical quality to pick those passes in the final third and beat Inter.

Inter does not seem to have the type of game that can hurt us. Which is heavy pressing with intensity on our backline.

I think this makes sense.

Teams don't know each other like Barca - ATM do. Imo it won't work like this, they can score out of the blue, a set piece, a fk, a corner, a deflection, header, or a counter and they are really dangerous at those.

I think this makes sense.

Yeah, this time the more possession based cautious Barcelona that circulates the ball until we find an opening is the better tactical selection than just pressing them in numbers and leaving Lautaro and Thuram in a lot of spaces.

Time for Olmo to make up for his injuries by dragging this attack back into form.

Everybody can score out of the blue at any moment at this stage. Including from a setpiece, or some golazo from a top player or something. Even keepers can make errors, neither Sommer, nor Tek are among world's very best.

I simply believe we have the technical quality to trouble this Inter side. They are not that strong defensively. But we need to play strong away, because Inter is not the type of team you can sucker-punch in one leg like Dortmund was.

My head says inter
My heart says my beloved.

I will go with my heart.

Dumfries a doubt for all of April so he probably won't be back for the first leg at least. Even if he is, he is also a yellow away from suspension so might miss the return leg.

That means Gerard Martin will face Darmian, which won't be a problem. Barella in the half-space will be dangerous, Frenkie will need to be vigilant with his marking.

If lamine or raph are in a good day, it's game over for them
