Learn how to watch an Inter vs. Barcelona live stream and the Champions League online, wherever you are, in the following paragraphs.
Barcelona has only suffered one loss this season despite their troubles off the field. The only loss came in their previous Champions League match against Bayern Munich in Munich last month, when Lucas Hernandez and Leroy Sané both scored within four minutes of one another for Bayern. They are still unbeaten in La Liga and are tied for first place with old rivals Real Madrid on points. With a victory today, can they continue to put the German team under pressure?
In place of Piqué, Balde, Alba, Kessié, and Fati, Xavi has substituted Garca, Alonso, Roberto, Pedri, and Raphina for the team that defeated Mallorca on the road on Saturday.
Inter had a victory and a loss in the Champions League so far this year, but the hosts on Tuesday night are down in ninth position in Serie A. The Nerazzurri fell to Roma 2-1 on Saturday, a match that their opponent’s manager Jose Mourinho was forced to watch from a bus in the parking lot owing to a touchline suspension. This leaves them with four victories and four losses through their first eight games. Who will represent Inter tonight?
The Inter team for tonight’s match against Barcelona also has five substitutions, with Handanovi, Acerbi, Dumfries, Asllani, and Deko being replaced by Onana, de Vrij, Darmian, Mkhitaryan, and Correa.
The absence of defensive mainstays like left back Dalbert, who tore his ACL in January, and defensive midfielder Marcel Brozovic (thigh), who will be sidelined for the remainder of this month, has caused anxiety for nter manager Simone Inzaghi.
The star forward Lautaro Martinez, who is scheduled to participate despite recuperating from a minor leg injury, had encouraging news, though. Ronald Araujo (thigh) and Jules Kounde’s ailments in the Barca back line should give him freedom to manoeuvre.
