Official Starting Lineups – Bayern Munich Vs Inter Milan: Carlos Augusto & Lautaro Martinez Start | OneFootball

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to start Carlos Augusto on the left wing against Bayern Munich. This evening’s Champions League quarter-final first leg clash kicks off at 21.00 CET.

Simone Inzaghi’s men eased past Feyenoord in the round of 16, beating the Dutch team 4-1 on aggregate.

As a result, they’ll contest a second Champions League quarter-final in three years.

However, the opponent can be hardly more formidable than the runaway Bundesliga leaders.

Therefore, head coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to name the strongest starting eleven amid a minor injury crisis.

Firstly, the big news on the team sheet is the absence of Federico Dimarco.

Indeed, the Italian wingback is not fully fit and will start on the bench.

Then, in goal Yann Sommer retains his place between the sticks ahead of Josep Martinez.

In defense, meanwhile, it is the trio of Benjamin Pavard, Francesco Acerbi, and Alessandro Bastoni.

On the left flank, meanwhile, Federico Dimarco relinquishes his place in the starting lineup after not featuring against Milan in midweek. Then, at right-wingback, Matteo Darmian keeps his spot.

Indeed, Denzel Dumfries is still out with a hamstring injury.

Furthermore, in midfield, Nicolo Barella moves into a box-to-box midfield role. Therefore, Hakan Calhanoglu and Henrikh Mkhitaryan complete the trio.

Lastly, Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram lead the line. As such, Marko Arnautovic remains on the bench.

Kristjan Asllani misses the match through suspension, meanwhile. Then, Piotr Zielinski and Mehdi Taremi are absent due to injuries.
