UEFA Champions League: Barcelona vs Inter Milan predicted XI

Inter Milan have begun brightly under the tutelage of Antonio Conte and top the Serie A table in Italy. The Italian giants take on Barcelona on matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League on Thursday. Barcelona have had a miserable domestic campaign so far and will hope to compensate that by getting results in their favour in the UCL. The pressure will be on Ernesto Valverde to ensure his side deliver on October 3, 2019. Take a look at the predicted line-up.

Valverde will be sweating on the fitness of Lionel Messi ahead of the clash against Inter Milan on Thursday. Youngster Carles Perez will play in his stead alongside the front two of Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann. Frenkie De Jong is expected to partner Sergio Busquets in the middle of the park. Valverde will be eager to give Messi some game time if needed in the second half at Camp Nou.

Inter Milan will be up against one of the strongest sides in Europe on Thursday. All eyes will be on Conte due to the fact that no Italian manager has won at Camp Nou since Marcello Lippi won with Juventus back in April 2003. The former Chelsea manager will opt for a front two of Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez. However, former Barca winger Alexis Sanchez is likely to start on the bench.
