The FC Barcelona plays it against the Inter of Milan. Xavi’s men fell in the Champions League against Bayern Munich and now they have two decisive games ahead of them in their group against the Italians. If they both manage to win, they will ensure passage to the next round, otherwise their aspirations would be much more complicated. But how has Barça fared against Inter in previous games?
The balance is quite positive for the Blaugrana since throughout their history, these two teams have faced each other in official competition on 14 occasions, of which FC Barcelona has won 8 times, for only 2 for the Italians. The rest would be draws, 4 in particular, so history and precedents indicate that the Blaugrana are favourites.
Recently, both in the 2019/2020 and 2018/2020 seasons, both teams have been drawn in the same Champions group, and the Italians have only achieved a draw in the four games, the rest are victories for FC Barcelona .
To see Inter’s last victory against the Catalans, we have to go back to the Champions League semi-finals of the 2009/2010 season. Both teams met for a place in the final, when Barça came from being the best team in the world and winning the sextet, but the Italian team coached by Mourinho managed to win 3-1 in Milan and eliminate the Catalans. That year the team trained by the Portuguese would win the treble, which would earn him his transfer to Real Madrid.
Currently, Inter seems to be one step below the Blaugrana, but what is certain is that we will see some great games between two good squads.
