Barcelona are in Milan to take on Inter in their crucial Champions League double-header and it looks as if they will have to do things the hard way if they want to come away with points.
Despite having much of the play and plenty of territory, the delivery has been lacking from Barcelona.
Opponents Inter have looked more dangerous on the counter and Marc-Andre ter Stegen was the only keeper to make a save, pushing an effort from Hakan Calhanoglu over the bar from distance.
It would be the Turkish midfielder who broke the deadlock in stoppage time in the first half. After Inter streamed forward on the counter again, Barcelona did not clear the cross well. Calhanoglu was set up on the edge of the box for a strike that will frustrate Xavi Hernandez greatly.
