Prediction
Even without Messi, Barca gets the win with Philippe Coutinho scoring the winner against his former club. Barcelona 2, Inter 1.
Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde says his side need to “work together” to get a result against Inter Milan, without injured striker Lionel Messi.
Messi broke his arm in Barcelona’s La Liga victory over Sevilla on Saturday and is out for several weeks.
“We’ll have to work together to make sure Leo Messi’s absence shows as little as possible,” Valverde said.
“We have the players to cover for him. The whole team will give it all they have.”
Barcelona, who lost to Roma in last season’s quarter-finals, have made a perfect start to their Champions League campaign, beating Tottenham and PSV to top Group B with six points.
However, Inter Milan are unbeaten in seven games and Valverde is aware of the threat the Italians will bring to the Nou Camp on Wednesday.
He said: “Inter are in great form after winning seven in a row. They never give up, as shows from so many wins in the final minutes and after coming back from behind.”
Team news
Inter are expected to be without Belgium midfielder Radja Nainggolan, while Marcelo Brozovic and Ivan Perisic are also huge doubts.
Nainggolan was injured during the Milan derby last weekend.
Inter coach Luciano Spalletti says the 30-year-old could be out for “a while” with an ankle injury, suffered after a challenge with AC Milan’s Lucas Biglia.
Meanwhile, Barcelona defenders Samuel Umtiti and Thomas Vermaelen are ruled out of the match through injury and join Messi on the sidelines.
Barcelona left-back Jordi Alba said: “Leo is a big loss. We all play better with him on the field. We’ll have to bring out our best and we’re quite capable of doing that.”
