Notably, right before this match, FIFA President Gianni Infantino unexpectedly expressed his love for Inter Milan. When asked which team would reach the Champions League final, he shared: "Everyone knows I am a fan of Inter Milan".

This is not the first time the head of FIFA has publicly expressed his love for the Milan team. This time, he is ready to play the role of "special audience" to cheer the Nerazzurri to reach the Champions League final.

The FIFA president also praised the relationship between Inter and Argentine players, with Lautaro Martinez being a key figure in the Milan squad at the moment. The Swiss official added: "Inter is an Argentine team."

In their most recent Champions League triumph in the 2009/10 season, Inter Milan relied heavily on Argentine players such as Diego Milito, Javier Zanetti, Walter Samuel, Esteban Cambiasso. At that time, Mr. Gianni Infantino was holding the position of UEFA General Secretary.

Many Barcelona fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the statement of FIFA President, Gianni Infantino. Because it appeared at a sensitive time and the statement of the head of FIFA could affect the transparency of the match.

Barcelona will be without their in-form defender Jules Kounde for the trip to Giuseppe Meazza, while striker Robert Lewandowski is also a doubt.

Meanwhile, Inter's number 1 star Lautaro Martinez is also doubtful after being injured in the first leg. French defender Benjamin Pavard is also absent.

In the past, Barcelona had traveled to Inter's Giuseppe Meazza stadium 6 times but they only won 1 victory.
