It has been clear enough to see that this FC Barcelona team remains as resilient as ever. Led by Hansi Flick, the Catalan side has no intentions of giving up any of their aspirations for this season. In fact, Barcelona is more motivated than ever to deliver when it matters the most as they continue to overcome their opponents.

While they undoubtedly have their eyes fixed on the upcoming Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid, a game that will decide the first of the last three remaining major trophies this season, they also have games to keep an eye on after that. In particular, the game against Inter Milan is of special importance.

Set to be the first leg of their semi-final clash in the UEFA Champions League, the first of the two legs will take place at the Montjuic Stadium. However, ahead of the game itself, it was reported that Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram would be a doubt for the first leg.

Now, however, things have changed drastically for the Italian side. After losing 0-3 to AC Milan in their most recent game, the Serie A giants look to be in a vulnerable position right now. For that reason, they are now pushing to have their key forward back in time from injury for the game according to Mundo Deportivo.

Moreover, they also hope to recover other key players in time for the game. The likes of Piotr Zielinski and Denzel Dumfries are both expected to be back in time for the game against Barcelona in the Champions League as well.

However, if Thuram does not recover in time to take on Flick’s team, Marko Arnautovic is seen as another alternative option who can get the job done. In any case, this Inter team is full of dangerous players and Barcelona will need to be at their very best to make the Italians worry.
