Three things we learned from Barcelona’s Champions League win over Inter Milan

Ernesto Valverde rotated his side for the trip to Inter Milan as expected and handed youngsters Moussa Wague, Jean-Clair Todibo, Carles Alena and Carles Perez starts.

For Todibo it was only his second start of the season, and his first in Europe’s top competition, but he grasped the opportunity with both hands in a strong showing.

The 19-year-old had his work cut out too up against the lively pairing of Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku who have plundered 25 goals between them this season for Inter.

Jean-Clair Tobido’s game by numbers vs. Inter:

82% pass accuracy
8 ball recoveries
8/8 tackles won
3 defensive aerials won
3/3 take-ons

Outrageous numbers.
