Hans Flick, the head coach of FC Barcelona, has announced the list of players who will travel to Italy to face Inter Milan in the highly anticipated UEFA Champions League match. This match is one of the key encounters in the semi-final, as Barcelona will visit Inter Milan for the second leg at the San Siro Stadium.

The first leg, held last week at the Camp Nou in Spain, ended in a 3-3 draw, making the second-leg match even more important for both teams in their bid to secure a place in the final of the European competition. Barcelona enters the match with high morale after their strong performance in the first leg, while Inter Milan aims to secure a victory at home.

The squad announced by Flick for the match against Inter Milan in the Champions League saw the return of Polish international forward Robert Lewandowski, who is back in the lineup after recovering from an injury. However, despite Lewandowski's return, young defender Alejandro Balde remains absent due to injury, which will affect the team's defensive lineup.

The squad announced by Flick for the second leg of the semi-final is as follows:

Goalkeepers: Szczesny, Peña, Astralaga.

Defenders: Araujo, Iñigo Martínez, Christensen, Koundé, Eric García, Fort, Koubarci.

Midfielders: Pedri, Gavi, De Jong, Pau Victor, Pablo Torre, Gerard Martín, Fermín López.

Forwards: Raphinha, Anssumane Fati, Ferran Torres, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Lewandowski.

The match between Barcelona and Inter Milan will kick off next Tuesday at 10:00 PM Cairo time and promises to be an intense encounter between the two teams, both seeking a spot in the Champions League final. The match is expected to be thrilling, as Barcelona aims to capitalize on their positive draw in the first leg, while Inter Milan looks to make the most of their home advantage and secure a win.

Barcelona is in a good position after the exciting draw in the first leg, but the team will need to put in their maximum effort in the second leg to guarantee a place in the final. On the other hand, Inter Milan will approach the match with great determination, looking to eliminate the Catalan side from the competition on their own turf in an attempt to win the long-awaited European title.

It is worth noting that Barcelona is aiming to win their first European trophy in many years, while Inter Milan hopes that this season will be the one that brings them back to the European podium after a long absence. This match will be closely followed by football fans around the world, as it is expected to be full of challenges and excitement, especially with key players like Lewandowski, who could make the difference for Barcelona.
