Barca face a stern test in their next Champions League Group B fixture, with Italian giants Inter Milan paying a visit to the Camp Nou in what looks to be a hotly-contested race to first place. Whilst Barca are currently topping the group on goal difference, a surprise performance by Inter would see a flip in group dynamics, and considering that Il Biscione have won their last seven consecutive matches, they are in fine form to cause an upset.
Both sides have incurred casualties in the last few weeks, with Lionel Messi suffering a broken arm in the match against Sevilla, and Radja Nainggolan being taken off after 30 minutes against AC Milan due to injury.
