Inter, Marcus Thuram’s recipe for a comeback with Barcelona

Inter between satisfaction and regret for the 3-3 away win at the Barcelona ground, with the Champions League final within the reach of the Nerazzurri who, however, saw themselves come back from 2-0 down and then 3-2 down by the Blaugrana. This is why Marcus Thuram doesn’t trust the Nerazzurri’s result ahead of the return match at San Siro.

“After the draw away from home, the challenge against Barcelona remains 50-50 – Thuram said in an ’interview with ‘CBS Sports’ -. I think they will have a lot of ball possession in Milan as well, but Inter play at home so we should improve in that aspect as well. But the match will probably be similar in performance to what we saw in the’first leg”.

Thuram then anticipated a possible tactical key that could help his Inter team in the return semifinal: “Barcelona always plays high. But when you have 11 players who press you constantly, and they often do it inside your own half of the field, you have to find a solution to contain them. To defend you have to stay low, and that isn&#8217t easy, but then you can break away on the counterattack and become you dangerous”.

“The field is very big, but Barcelona is able to cover it all with their pressing. Playing against champions of this level is a nightmare, but we can also go against their goalkeeper when he controls the ball. Their technical level is very high, and they know how to get between the lines. To succeed, Inter will have to do the same” Thuram concluded.
