Barca to wear new kit at San Siro

Whilst qualification for the Champions League knockout stages is almost secure for the Catalans, the game is a vital one for Inter as they jostle for position with Tottenham in the battle for second place in the group.

Lionel Messi will be among the traveling party for the trip to Milan as he continues his miraculous recovery from a fractured arm, and it's a recovery that could be completed in Barca's swish new third kit.

The LaLiga champions announced on Sunday that they would be wearing the new pink strip for the trip to Italy.

"FC Barcelona will be wearing the new third kit for the first time this season when they square off at Inter Milan on Tuesday night at 9.00pm CET in the fourth matchday of UEFA Champions League group B," an official statement read.

"The two-tone shirt oozes Barça DNA and is inspired by the city where the club is based, and will be on the players’ backs as they look to make it four wins out of four in the so-called ‘group of death’ in this year’s tournament. A win on Tuesday night would mathematically clinch Barça a berth in the round of 16."
