Following their dramatic Copa del Rey triumph, Barcelona quickly shifts focus to tonight’s high-stakes Champions League semi-final first leg against Inter Milan — a match demanding swift and strategic decisions from coach Hansi Flick.
According to El Nacional, Flick plans to make two key adjustments to the lineup that faced Real Madrid. In defense, Ronald Araujo is set to return after regaining fitness, which may prompt Inigo Martínez to shift to left-back in place of the injured Gerard Martin. In midfield, Fermín López is being considered to replace Dani Olmo, who recently returned from injury and has played multiple games in quick succession.
Frenkie de Jong and Pedri are expected to reclaim their starting roles, as both are vital to Flick’s tactical setup, with Gavi serving as backup. Up front, the attack is likely to remain unchanged, with Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Ferran Torres forming the trio. Despite their efforts in the recent final, their pace and synergy are seen as crucial for penetrating Inter’s disciplined defense.
