Diego Godín will captian Inter in Barcelona and will look for a positive result that will allow them to forget the fiasco against Slavia Prague on matchday 1.
The Uruguayan returns to a ground that is almost a talisman for him. He won the league there after scoring a header in 2014 and he also successfully played there before reaching 2 Champions League finals with Atlético.
In 2014 before winning the league in the Camp Nou, Atlético cruised past Barca in the Champions League. In that quarterfinal, Barca and Atlético drew 1-1 in the first leg, with Diego and Neymar scoring.
In the 2nd leg, Koke scored in a 1-0 win that put them through to the semi-final, where they played Chelsea en route to the final in Lisbon.
2 years later in 2016, Atlético made the final again. And they did it after winning in the Camp Nou. After a Fernando Torres goal, Barcelona came back and were in the best position to go through to the semi-final.
At the Vicente Calderón, a Griezmann, who now plays for Barca, helped Atlético turn the tie around and once more make the semis, where they would give a good account of themselves against Bayern. Then the final in Milan arrived, where they played once again against their eternal rivals.
Now, Godin is returning to Barcelona with his new team, and he does so with the hope that this is a step to the Champions League final. He also hopes that Inter can win it for first time since 2010 when they astonished thew whole world with Mourinho as manager. With Conte, another famous coach, history could repeat itself.
