FC Barcelona are set to face Inter Milan in the semi-final stage of the UEFA Champions League, the first leg of which is set to be player on Wednesday at the Montjuic.
The Catalan team will be coming into this game in the best of spirits, as they beat their arch-rivals Real Madrid in the final of the Copa del Rey, and thus achieved one of their objectives for the season.
However, this last game was decided only in extra time, and thus, most Blaugrana players would be feeling a lot of fatigue ahead of this UCL game. Still, keeping in view the high stakes involved, Hansi Flick would not be too keen to rotate his most important players for this match.
In fact, the German coach has published quite a strong squad list for this upcoming game, a list identical to the one published for the final against Real Madrid, with only one exception.
The injured players, Alejandro Balde, Robert Lewandowski, Marc Casado, and Marc Bernal remain unavailable for this game.
Similarly, Marc Andre Ter Stegen, who returned to action in the game against Real Madrid after spending almost the entire season on the sidelines with an injury, is not a part of the squad announced for this game against Inter Milan.
The full squad announced by Barcelona for this game is as follows:
Goalkeepers:
- 1: Iñaki Peña Sotorres

- 3: Ander Astralaga

- 1: Ronald Araújo
