According to reports, Arturo Di Napoli, a former player of Inter Milan, Napoli, Venezia, Salernitana, and the Italian national team, analyzed the second-leg semifinal match between Inter and Barcelona in an interview with Sport and discussed the threats posed by Hansi Flick’s team.

It couldn’t be more thrilling. The battle that took place last Wednesday, April 30, at the Montjuïc stadium left the qualification completely open, to be decided today at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. Sport contacted Arturo Di Napoli, a former Inter striker (1996/97), to assess the conditions of both teams and the details that could make a difference.

Di Napoli, born in Milan (April 18, 1974), developed in Inter’s youth academy and was loaned to Acireale and then Gualdo in 1993. In 1995, he transferred to Napoli, where he made his Serie A debut. He scored his first Serie A goal on December 23, 1995, reducing the deficit in the Sampdoria-Napoli (2-2) match.

Inter Milan recalled him in January 1997, but after seven appearances, he was loaned to Vicenza. Later, he played for Empoli, Piacenza, Venezia, Palermo, Messina Peloro, Salernitana, Unione Venezia, and Caronnese, retiring from football in 2012.

After the 3-3 draw in Barcelona, can the Giuseppe Meazza intimidate Barça?
The 3-3 draw is just a result between two powerful teams with different philosophies. I think this match is the real Champions League final. Inter will undoubtedly benefit from the support of its numerous fans, but this won’t scare Barcelona, who are used to big stages.

Inter scored most of its goals in the first leg through strategy. Given the importance of tactics in Italy, could this be decisive on Tuesday?
Yes, tactics will be decisive in the match outcome because in Italy, the final result is the priority, while in Spain, the result comes through beautiful play. This is a comparison of two different football philosophies. Tactics exist in Italy and across Europe, but no tactic works against Yamal.

How is the phenomenon Yamal viewed in Italy?
He is an extraordinary player. Considering his young age, with this level of talent, he could become an illegal player for any league in the future.

Which Barcelona players do you consider more dangerous?
It’s Barcelona’s team strength that I find more dangerous. When you have players like Pedri, Gavi, and Lamine together, the result becomes something devastating.
