Champions League 2024-2025: Inter-Feyenoord, the likely lineups

Inter-Feyenoord, the probable formations 

After six days, Inter and Feyenoord return to face each other in the return leg of the Champions League round of 16. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the 'Meazza'. After a 2-0 victory in the first leg in Rotterdam, the Nerazzurri are ready to close the books and secure passage to the quarters, where they could face Bayern Munich, who dominated Bayer Leverkusen with a clear 3-0 win in the first leg.

Simone Inzaghi is preparing to change quite a bit from the first leg lineup. The first change concerns the goalkeeper with Sommer ready to return between the posts. In defense, Bisseck is expected to give Bastoni a breather. In midfield rest turn for Barella: in his place Frattesi, with Dumfries and Carlos Augusto on the flanks. In attack, Thuram will pair with Taremi, with Lautaro Martinez from the bench.

Feyenoord, for its part, will have to do without some key players: Osman è disqualified, while Igor Paixão è injured. In front of Wellenreuther, in goal, the defense will see the return of Beelen, alongside Bueno, Hancko and Read. In the midfield, Moder and Smal are expected to act in the center, while on the three-quarter Hadj Moussa, Sliti and Ivanusec will act behind the only point Carranza.
