Simone Inzaghi and Inter captain Lautaro Martinez will preview the game at a pre-match press conference in Barcelona later today.

Barcelona vs Inter preview – What Flick and Yamal said

“Inter will be very difficult; they’re one of the best defences in Europe,” Flick said in his pre-match press conference.

“They have a great midfield and the two strikers are very good. But also the transition they make is very dangerous. So they defend good, but also attack. We have to be ready.

“Today we met and talked about what we need to change. They’ll have five players in midfield, and we’ll have to protect the spaces. It’s very important for us to keep possession and reduce errors, they have automatisms, it’s very imporant. We have to be very focused on the ball, as well as defence.”

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal added: “I really like Barella and Lautaro. When they have the ball, they play very well, and they defend very well. They’re a team I like to watch.

“I haven’t had that fear, but I do have the motivation before the game,” said Yamal.

“I left that fear behind in the park in Mataro a long time ago. I wouldn’t call it pressure. In the end, I go out and enjoy myself. I take it as a good thing, and I feel like I have to enjoy the moment.

“In football, there is no such thing as age. If you’re ready, you’re ready. It’s a sport that depends on the quality and mentality of the person. We are at a very high level with a young team. Age is just a number.”
