Hansi Flick has confirmed that Wojciech Szczesny will start for Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie against Inter Milan tonight. Marc-Andre ter Stegen is available again, having been out since rupturing the patella tendon in his right knee in September, and is pushing to play a part in the final weeks of the season.

A memorable moment in this rivalry came in the 2009-10 season when, under José Mourinho’s guidance, Inter Milan eliminated Barcelona from the Champions League semi-finals with a 3-2 aggregate win. Barcelona has a strong home record against the Nerazzurri, having hosted them six times in European competitions, winning five matches and drawing once.
