Capello warns Inter against defensive approach in Champions League clash with Barcelona

Ahead of the Champions League semi-final second leg between Inter Milan and Barcelona, multiple football legends and analysts have weighed in on the matchup. Fabio Capello cautioned Inter against sitting too deep and highlighted the threat posed by Barcelona, especially if Robert Lewandowski returns from injury, calling the Spanish side's quality 'scary.' Capello also noted that Inter's recent lack of humility and possible over-focus on the Champions League may have contributed to their domestic struggles. Former Inter captain Alessandro Altobelli, however, remains confident in Inter's chances, stressing the importance of Lautaro Martinez's return and the team's strong home record in European competition. Both Capello and Altobelli agree that Inter must approach the game with courage and focus, while Barcelona's attacking options and experience make them formidable opponents. The tie is finely poised after a thrilling 3-3 first-leg draw, setting the stage for a closely contested battle at San Siro.
