If you are wondering where to watch FC Barcelona vs Inter Milan, Champions League 2018-19, match, then you can find the relevant information here.

Both teams secured crucial victories in their domestic fixtures, but for the Catalonians, it came at a hefty price. Lionel Messi injured his arm and now faces a month on the sidelines. With several vital games coming up the Ernesto Valverde’s side, the blow is enormous.

Ousmane Dembele is the most likely replacement for the Barcelona skipper, and the Frenchman had started the season well before being drafted out of the playing eleven. Although he tends to lose possession at an alarming rate, the coach may put his faith on him ahead of Munir El Haddadi because of his finishing ability.

Brazilian Arthur should come into the midfield to support Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets. With Samuel Umtiti out with a long time injury, Clement Lenglet will slot in the back four along with the unpredictable Gerard Pique.

Inter Milan star Mauro Icardi has been an instrumental figure for the Milan club for a long time now, and his situation is similar to Messi at Barcelona, often their clubs have too much dependence on these stars. But unlike Messi, Mauro Icardi will start and return to his boyhood club. He will be a focal point in attack for Inter Milan and could trouble the home side with his precision finishing. There are a couple of injury concerns with Ivan Perisic and Marcelo Brozovic significant doubts for the game. The absence of the duo could leave the visitors short in attack.

Barcelona has an impeccable record in European competition at home and Inter will have to play their best game for a very long time to leave Camp Nou with a win. The hosts have some real world class names, and they are more than capable of getting the job done at home.
