Barcelona boast the best attack left in the tournament - 3.1 goals per match, with Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Torres all in form. But defensively, they’ve been leaking - conceding multiple goals in 4 of their last 6 UCL games.
Inter? They’ve quietly become the most complete side in the tournament: unbeaten in 8, averaging 1.7 goals for and just 0.6 against, with big wins over Bayern, Feyenoord, and a dominant San Siro record to match.
This is more than just a second leg - it’s a coin flip between styles. Attack vs structure. Tempo vs control.
