As: Barde is sure to miss the game for Inter Milan due to injury, Frick may use the four-center defender defense line

On May 4th, there are only 48 hours left before the life-and-death battle against Inter Milan in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, but Barcelona has faced a heavy blow - the main left-back Alejandro Barde is sure to miss the focus game. The news was first disclosed by the well-known Spanish journalist Gerard Romero, and was confirmed by the Ass, casting a shadow on coach Hansi Frick's preparation plan. The

Club Medical Team originally planned to let Valde resume joint training this Thursday and make a brief appearance in the league against Valladolid to find form. However, the feedback from the players during training did not meet expectations, and the coaching staff finally decided to postpone their comeback. Barcelona has adjusted its recovery schedule to the Spanish national derby with Real Madrid on May 11, which means the 21-year-old star missed three key battles in a row.

Faced with a vacuum on the left defense line, Frick is seriously considering using the four-center-back combination: Ronald Araujo and Paul Kubasi are in the middle, Eric Garcia serves as the right gate, and experienced Inigo Martinez may play as the left back. This arrangement has received miraculous effects in the second half of the first leg against Inter Milan. It is worth noting that young player Hrad Martin played the whole game in Valladolid, which indirectly confirmed the coaching staff's lack of confidence in the existing full-back candidates.

Danish international Andreas Christensen also has the possibility of starting. He performed steadily in the last round of the league and is expected to replace Araujo as the right center back. Such a change of the formation will greatly increase the height of the defense line and target the high-altitude advantage of Inter Milan's forward line.

Compared to the difficulty of the defense line, Barcelona's forward has received positive signals. Robert Lewandowski's recovery progress was far beyond expectations. His left leg strap injury was originally expected to recover for four weeks, but the Polish forward met the game conditions in just two weeks. It is reported that he will return to the training ground on Sunday and is expected to get 25-30 minutes of playing time in San Siro, which is called "miraculous recovery" in the locker room.

This decisive battle, scheduled for the early morning of May 7, will become the biggest test since Frick coached Barcelona. Against the backdrop of a 3-3 draw in the first leg, whether the Catalan Giants, who lack full-time full-backs, can escape from Milan City will directly determine the team's fate of the Champions League this season.
