Dumfries was a difference-maker in Spain, earning the ‘Man of the Match’ award for his stellar exploits.

In addition to bagging his first Champions League brace, he assisted Marcus Thuram for the first-minute opener.

Meanwhile, Hakan Calhanoglu’s set-piece deliveries were equally significant.

Indeed, the Turks’ crosses caused havoc in Barcelona’s penalty area, leading to goals on either side of halftime.

Despite Barca’s technical prowess, Inter’s dominant aerial presence caught Hansi Flick’s side unprepared several times.

Therefore, this could be a decisive factor in tonight’s encounter.
