A challenge not to be missed. Inter faces Barcelona to try to get out of the crisis. Here are Inzaghi’s choices
A challenge not to be missed. Inter faces Barcelona to try to get out of the crisis – 5 KOs in the first 10 official matches – and, at the same time, to remain in the fight for qualification for the round of 16. Inzaghi focuses on Onana in goal, the classic three-man defense – Skriniar, De Vrij and Bastoni while Darmian and Dimarco are the two outside players. Calhanoglu will act as director, Barella and Mkhitaryan are the two midfiels while in attack Lautaro grits his teeth and will team up with Correa, preferred to Dzeko.

INTER (3-5-2): 24 Onana; 37 Skriniar, 6 De Vrij, 95 Sticks; 36 Darmian, 23 Barella, 20 Calhanoglu, 22 Mkhitaryan, 32 Dimarco; 10 Lautaro, 11 Correa.
