I’Inter he will gamble his chances of qualifying for the 16th round of the Champions League 2022-2023 in the last two games of the first phase after the draw in Barcelona, but everything can be defined in favor of the Nerazzurri already the next day. the team of Simone Inzaghi could not take the 3 points from Camp Nou, which would have guaranteed the passage to the next stage, despite being in the lead for most of the second half, but took a good advantage over the Catalans in case of arrival in equal points in the C group.
The “Nerazzurri” beat Xavi’s team in the first leg and got a precious away draw: in this way the Loved could take the pass to the knockout stage of the most important continental competition, even if just getting the victory at home with Plzen victory in the next round, regardless of what Barça does against Bayern Monaco.
If Inter do not beat the Czechs at Meazza, everything will depend on what happens between Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the other match of the 5th round: if the Catalans win, the Nerazzurri would be forced to win at home. the last day of the group. A scenario that, of course, no one expects.
In a nutshell, Inter will qualify for the round of 16 if:
- victories against Viktoria Plzen or Bayern Munich;
- tie with Viktoria or Bayern and Barcelona draw at least one of the two remaining games;
- Barça lose one of the two remaining games.
At the moment, the classification of group C of the Champions League sees Bayern Munich in the lead without any problem, with four wins in the same number of games and with the pass for the round of 16 already in their pocket. The second position is disputed by Inter and Barcelona, but the Nerazzurri start with a small advantage. This is the ranking after the fourth round:
- Bayern Munich 12
- Inter 7
- barcelona 4
- Victory Plzen 0
