Barcelona predicted line-up to face Inter Milan in Champions League semi-final | OneFootball

A crucial game is now here for FC Barcelona as they are set to take on Inter Milan. With the Italian side visiting the Estadi de Montjuïc for the first leg of their Champions League clash, Hansi Flick’s side will need to be at their best. After all, a positive result for Barcelona here could be a massive advantage.

For that reason, it is to be expected that the Catalan giants will field a strong starting eleven. With reports suggesting that the line-up from the El Clasico final could be repeated, it seems like a reasonable and likely possibility.

Here is how Hansi Flick’s Barcelona could line up to take on Inter Milan.

Predicted Barcelona Line-up against Inter Milan

Goalkeeper: Wojciech Szczesny

The Polish goalkeeper will continue to retain the backing of Hansi Flick in the UEFA Champions League, and for good reason. His performances have been solid, so he will be needed.

Scored a crucial match-winner in the Copa del Rey final, and it is certainly true that his confidence would be sky-high right now. Should be starting this game.

Centre-back: Pau Cubarsi

Even with a clear lack of experience, Pau Cubarsi continues to amaze at the biggest of stages against the toughest of opponents. He will undoubtedly be needed here against Inter Milan.

Centre-back: Inigo Martinez

The commander of the Barcelona defense, Inigo Martinez, combines both leadership and experience. With him in the team, the players tend to be positioned much better on a consistent basis than they can manage when he is not on the field.

Left-back: Gerard Martin

Despite having a rather mediocre performance against Real Madrid in his last game, Gerard Martin is likely to start again, as Alejandro Balde has still not recovered from his injury and has not been included in the squad list for this clash.

The Dutchman enables those around him to play at their best possible level, and he has been a key contributor to Barça’s impressive run of form in 2025.

Barça’s midfield maestro has left no stone unturned as he continues to improve and impress. Moreover, as he aspires to win the Ballon d’Or someday, his performances so far this season definitely put him in a place to do so.

What a performance from the young sensation in the last game, as he grabbed two crucial assists. He will likely start this game as well for Barcelona.

The Spaniard could be the key to unlocking a resilient Inter Milan defense, and Hansi Flick will need to make sure that Dani Olmo is used to the best of his abilities.

A forgettable performance against Real Madrid in the last game was certainly not ideal for Raphinha. However, he has shown his strength in the Champions League this season, so this is a chance for him to bounce back.

The Spanish centre-forward should still end up starting this game as Robert Lewandowski is still out injured. He managed to score a crucial goal against Real Madrid in his last game, so momentum is definitely there with him.
