Mauro Icardi remained cancelled and lived a bitter reunion with the Barça

Further of the absence of Leo Messi that forced to deliver responsibilities, the FC Barcelona knew that it confronted to an Inter of Milan that goes back to have a lot of potential in the Champions, and that so much individual as collectively it is between the best groups of the competition. In his preparation, this yes, there were some marked names in red, and one of them was the one of the Argentinian Mauro Icardi.

The one of Rosario is again the spearhead of the attack 'nerazurri', and arrived to the Camp Nou in series and especially motivated. Pichichi Of the team, with five so many in the last four parties and the illusion to première in the maximum European competition and go back to which a day was his house. It does not need too many inducements to do what better gives him , that is to mark.

But in the City Condal, the '9' carried a disappointment, because Gerard Hammered and Clément Lenglet tied him in short and hardly left him breathe. Although it could escape some that again, remained limited to several chispazos, and did not carry sufficient danger as to be able to break the networks of Marc-André Ter Stegen, to the that yes tried to scare in some isolated opportunity.

The tip left one of the clearest attempts in a scarce first-half for his, when it answered to a centre raso of Ivan Perisic with a touch that it was too high. Also it demanded a penalti non-existent in an action in which it finish by the floors, before giving also one of the clearest occasions in the resumption. After an unfit defensive, Icardi yielded of espuela a frank balloon for Matteo Politano, that with everything of face shot with too much power and sent the leather above the crossbar.

Further of this, few spaces and too much precipitation, in an Inter that saw suffocated by the Barcelona pressure and that only could play something when Borja Valero retreated some metres until the zone of creation. The Madrilenian also remained shut in a first time in which it was isolated and too advanced, although his reaction last hardly some minutes and gave step, once again, to the siege barcelonista.

Icardi Will want to resarcirse in Saint Siro

Although the first battle won it the Barça, well would do no despistándose, because in hardly two weeks will have split of turn in Saint Siro. The Catalans have practically done the classification for eighth of final, but another victory would give them mathematically the leadership of the Group B and would facilitate a better crossing. This yes, the milaneses do not go to give eases, and less home, and with the support of his fans, will try to improve his feelings, with Icardi in command. The culés will travel to Italy with the very learnt lesson.
