FC Barcelona and Inter Milan<\/a> face each other this Wednesday in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 semi-finals. The ‘Azulgrana’ team arrives with renewed spirits after the historic consecration in the final of the Copa del Rey against Real Madrid (3-2)<\/strong>. Beyond the enormous wear and tear of playing 120 minutes at La Cartuja, the team has received a brutal injection of confidence after achieving the first step towards the treble.<\/p> In addition, the ‘cul\u00e9s’ arrive without new injury absences, recovering Ter Stegen<\/strong> (he will be Szczesny’s substitute) and awaiting the returns of Alejandro Balde and Robert Lewandowski. Inter, on the other hand, arrives in a very delicate moment in Catalonia, with three defeats in a row<\/a> that left them out of the Italian Cup and without the lead in Serie A. The ‘nerazurri’ will also have a significant absence in defense.<\/p> Next, we review the possible starting lineup, the substitutes’ bench and the injured and sanctioned players of Hansi Flick’s Barcelona for the first leg of the Champions League ‘semis’<\/strong>.<\/p> Probable starting XI of Bar\u00e7a:<\/strong><\/p> Bar\u00e7a’s bench (substitute players):<\/strong><\/p> Injured players of Bar\u00e7a:<\/strong><\/p> Sanctioned players of Bar\u00e7a:<\/strong><\/p> In principle, Flick plans to keep his gala lineup with respect to the match against Real Madrid.<\/p> Goalkeeper and defense:<\/strong><\/p> Szczesny will be in goal, while Kound\u00e9 and Gerard Mart\u00edn remain on the flanks after a very intense match in the Cup. In the center of the defense, I\u00f1igo Mart\u00ednez will once again accompany Pau Cubars\u00ed, with Ronald Araujo waiting for his opportunity on the bench.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> Midfield:<\/strong><\/p> As a pivot, Frenkie de Jong will be again. The Dutchman will once again be Pedri’s partner in midfield, while Dani Olmo, who only played 65 minutes against Madrid, will once again be the team’s attacking midfielder. Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez, a key figure in extra time against Madrid, could also be in the starting lineup on Wednesday.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> Forward:<\/strong><\/p> In attack, Raphinha and Ferran Torres complete the ‘Azulgrana’ attack alongside Lamine Yamal. The ‘Shark’ remains as the team’s ‘9’ in the absence of Robert Lewandowski, injured since the League match against Celta.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> As in the final of the Copa del Rey, the great novelty of the list of summoned for the first Champions League semi-final, without a doubt, is the return of Marc-Andr\u00e9 ter Stegen<\/a>. The German received medical discharge after seven months and 217 days of absence due to a rupture of the patellar tendon in his right leg, shortening his return by about a month.<\/p> However, the injuries of Lewandowski, Alejandro Balde, Casad\u00f3 and Bernal<\/strong> represent a significant challenge for FC Barcelona in this decisive stretch of the season.<\/p> Next, we detail the individual impact of each absence due to injury<\/a><\/strong> on the team.<\/p> Hansi Flick’s possible lineup for Barcelona vs Inter Milan \u00a1Complete analysis!<\/h2>
Significant Absences: Who are the injured players of Bar\u00e7a against Inter Milan?<\/h2>
