Hansi Flick likely to make rotations against Inter Milan after grueling cup final | OneFootball

Barcelona are set to take on Inter Milan on Wednesday night, in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals.

The Catalans, though, are coming on the back of a grueling Copa Del Rey final, which saw them secure a 3-2 victory over Real Madrid.

It was a hard-fought victory for Barça, who had to play for 120 minutes and rely on a late goal from Jules Kounde to seal the trophy.

Barcelona likely to make rotations vs Inter

Keeping that in mind, there is a possibility Hansi Flick could resort to rotations against Inter Milan this midweek.

Several first-team Barcelona stars were physically exhausted after the Copa Del Rey triumph and are trying their best to get back to full fitness by Wednesday night.

It must be noted that Barcelona’s week doesn’t end with a midweek contest against Inter Milan. They are also slated to face Real Valladolid on Saturday.

This will be a must-win game for the Catalans, as they look to protect their four-point lead at the top of the league table, especially with another Clasico just around the corner.

Therefore, it becomes important for Flick to keep his fresh troops fresh and play the rotation game wisely.

That said, rotating the squad heavily against a team like Inter Milan could be a risk as the Italian giants are more than capable of taking advantage of Barcelona’s weakness and register a strong lead in the first leg.

Hence, Flick must strike the right balance when it comes to rotation as his team gears up for a challenging evening against the Nerazzurri.
