Two of European football's most powerful teams are preparing for a showdown in the Champions League. Barcelona hosts Inter Milan in a group F game on Tuesday.
The Italian players lead the group with six points from their games so far, but all four teams have a mathematical chance of moving on to the knockout stages. The Nerazzurri will welcome Wesley Sneijder back from an ankle injury, but the team will still be without the injured Davide Santon.

Two games are left in the group stage, and Barca coach Pep Guardiola is confident that his side will reach the tournament's knockout round. Barcelona will decide on Tuesday whether to risk forwards Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the match with Inter. Both players have struggled to recover from thigh injuries.
