This game was filled with controversial calls last week and a lot of finger pointing at the ref/VAR from both sides. In the end, I think all things balanced out but I know Barca fans won’t see it that way. This is simply a must win game for Barcelona. They have been shut out in back to back UCL matches and without 3 points today, they can probably kiss the knockout rounds goodbye. They get Bayern after this match, and Bayern would love nothing more than to knock Lewandowski and his new club out of the competition. Inter have been playing better football lately and managed a road win at Sassuolo this weekend. Lautaro Martinez has struggled to finish quality opportunities in front of the net and that needs to change if they want to win this game. His teammate Edin Dzeko has luckily been able to pick up the slack and finish his opportunities, keeping Inter afloat. This is the biggest match on the slate today in my opinion.
Personally, I will be on Inter double chance. I am a Madrid fan and with El Clasico this weekend I can’t root for Barcelona even a little bit. It’s Barca hate week. That said, the play is to back them at home in a must win situation.
