Barcelona and Inter meet again after 8 days, after the match won 1-0 by the Nerazzurri at San Siro thanks to a goal by Calhanoglu, after a sensational test by the hosts and at the end of a hard-fought match.20:34
Barcelona, stopped at 3 points after the two defeats suffered against Bayern Munich and Inter and with the only victory against Viktoria Plzen, today is looking for victory to hook the Nerazzurri in second place and aim for the next round.
