Apart from some surprising results yesterday, so I'm really looking forward to today's Barcelona vs Inter match. Barcelona will do everything possible to qualify for the next round by winning all remaining matches. Inter, Bayern Munich, Viktoria Plzen must be beaten by Barcelona if they want to get 1 ticket to the last 16. I believe their chances at the moment are very slim considering they only got 3 points in 3 match.
If you look at Barcelona's performance in the first match against Inter, I think the small mistakes they tried to cover failed so that Barcelona's defense was easily penetrated, especially at centre-backs. Xavi did not apply aggressive pressure, lacked quick tiki taka, so the ball that was seized opened the attack from the middle.
Barcelona had a famous El Clasico match, but in the first match against Inter it was mostly a long ball. This evaluation should be a reflection to turn things around. Xavi now has De Jong who can make Lewandowski maximize execution. Dembele is very important in building attacks while he is unselfish and pushes himself to score goals. Xavi has to be careful because Inter have a dangerous long-range striker.
I don't think this should happen again for the match in the second leg Barcelona must be able to win because this is the only way to qualify for the next round, as for other defensive mistakes they are important because they guard against counter-attacks that are undeniable by Inter Like in the first leg, and I think Barcelona's dominance is still there, it's just that they need to anticipate their attacks which have to be aggressive again but this time Lewandowski must really spearhead the victory.
Dembele is a player who has worked very hard on the ball and that should be a good start for them along with a few others, and DeJong has reportedly been ready for tonight, so Xavi is hopeful of a win.
