Champions League Matchday: "Barcelona" - "Inter" (interesting facts)

On Wednesday evening, eight intriguing matches of the third group stage round in the UEFA Champions League will be played. Arguably the most interesting match should take place at the "Camp Nou" stadium, where "Barcelona" will host Milan's "Inter". The Catalans' chances of winning are highly favorable, if not for the Lionel Messi injury suffered over the weekend. "Barca" will have to play without their team's "engine", so this will only boost the confidence of the Italian guests. Both teams in their group have so far only marched triumphantly - both the barriers of PSV and "Tottenham" have been overcome. The match will start at 22:00. Attention - the most interesting match facts: These teams have met six times in total in the UEFA Champions League. "Barcelona" has a much better history - three wins and two draws. The only time "Inter" managed to defeat the Catalans was in the 2009-10 season when a 3-1 victory was won in the first leg of the semifinals. Playing in all tournaments, "Barcelona" has won four out of the last five matches against "Inter" at their home field, including three Champions League matches where not a single goal was conceded. The only failure was experienced in 1970, when the teams played in the then "Fair" Cup. Playing at the "Camp Nou" stadium against "Barcelona" is not easy for not only the "Inter" club - in the last 13 Champions League matches, the Catalans have been unbeatable for Italian teams. Since April 2003, when they lost to "Juventus", "Barcelona" has won 10 times against Italians and settled for a draw three times. "Barcelona" is generally a tough force to beat in the Champions League in front of their fans - out of the last 27 matches, they have won 25. The last time they celebrated a victory against the hosts at the "Camp Nou" stadium was against Munich's "Bayern" - 3:0. In the mentioned 27 matches at home, "Barca" has scored 85 goals and conceded only 13 accurate shots into their net. "Inter" can repeat their most successful achievement in the UEFA Champions League, which they already achieved in the 2004-05 season when all three initial season matches were won. Since September 2010, when "Inter" defeated Bremen's "Werder" 4-0, all nine Champions League matches have been won by a one-goal margin. "Inter" has the best percentage of one-goal margin victories in the tournament - 62% out of the calculated 50 winning matches. Both "Inter" victories this season came after opponents scored the first goal. In the Champions League, only two clubs have achieved more victories despite conceding a goal - "Man Utd" (2012) and Madrid's "Real" (2017).
