Stats Show Inter Milan Hopes Of Overcoming Barcelona In Champions League Semi-Finals Hinge On Formidable Attacking Duo | OneFootball

Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram will spearhead Inter Milan’s attack in tonight’s Champions League semi-final decider against Barcelona.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, this partnership could prove crucial to Inter’s hopes of reaching the final.

Despite slumping to a minor thigh injury in the first leg, Lautaro Martinez will be in the starting lineup this evening.

Indeed, El Toro will join forces with his partner in crime as Inter bid to secure a place in the showpiece event.

They’ve been the twin pillars of Inter’s success these past two years.

Therefore, the Argentine’s recovery comes as a major boost to Simone Inzaghi’s plans for this mammoth clash.

Defensive solidity has been the cornerstone of Inter’s impressive Champions League run this season.

However, Inzaghi’s charges have done well on the opposite end, netting 22 goals thus far.

Marcus Thuram and Lautaro have bagged 12 alone, highlighting their importance in high-stakes European matches.

While the Frenchman scored in the first leg, the Inter captain had a rough first half.

Hopefully, the 27-year-old will be at his best tonight as a sold-out San Siro expects another electric showing from the talisman.
