According to “Varzesh3”, Yann Sommer, Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni, Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco, Lautaro, Thuram. This is Inter’s probable lineup for tonight’s match, the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal against Barcelona.

This lineup may not be the absolute ideal, but considering the absence of Benjamin Pavard, it is the closest to the main squad. There are still doubts about Marcus Thuram, although everything suggests that the French striker is ready to start despite possible issues. Regarding the defense and attack, it can be briefly said that Simone Inzaghi, Inter Milan’s coach, feels confident and at ease with his midfield.

With Dumfries on the right and Dimarco on the left, alongside the well-known and consistent trio of Barella, Calhanoglu, and Mkhitaryan, Inzaghi’s ideal midfield is taking shape again.

This is somewhat fresh, as recently these five players have not started together. The last time this lineup was seen was in the Napoli-Inter match on March 1, exactly two months ago.

During this period, injuries to Dimarco and Dumfries, along with the natural rotation of players that led to Frattesi and Asllani getting more playing time, prevented this midfield from being formed. Now that the physical issues have been resolved and the game demands the best possible hierarchy, this lineup is returning after 13 matches.
