Barcelona vs. Inter Milan Picks

We flagged up Inter Milan as our pre-tournament bet for Champions League glory this season. Their excellent defensive record has seen them trail for just ten minutes in the competition this term.

This will be a huge challenge for the Italian giants, but we could see their defensive game plan being a key factor in a draw being played out in Catalonia.
