Juventus vs. Manchester United

Though there was only one goal between the two sides in their last encounter, there was a gulf in class between them on the pitch as Juve dominated the Red Devils at Old Trafford.

Sports writer Paolo Bandini could scarcely the way the Italian side imposed themselves on the game:

Paolo Bandini @Paolo_Bandini

I appreciate that this is not a vintage United, but 70% possession for an away team at Old Trafford still feels astonishing.

Worryingly for United, the Bianconeri aren't the only side to do that to them in recent weeks.

On Saturday, the Red Devils were fortunate to come out of an abject first half against Bournemouth with the score level after the Cherries pressed and harassed them to great effect in the early stages.

Though they eventually came back to win late on, Samuel Luckhurst of the Manchester Evening News was not impressed with their early showing:

Samuel Luckhurst @samuelluckhurst

This opening 20 minutes has maybe been worse than Newcastle., in terms of the performance. The cowardice is contagious. #mufc

If United are similarly passive in Turin, Juve have the firepower and the quality to capitalise—the Red Devils must take the game to their hosts from the outset or they may be humiliated once again.

                               

Inter Milan vs. Barcelona

Inter will have been disappointed that they failed to trouble Barcelona at the Camp Nou given the Blaugrana were without Lionel Messi.

The Catalan giants eased to a 2-0 win, and they might have Messi in their ranks this time around after he returned to training last week following a spell out with a broken arm.

However, there's plenty of cause for Inter to be confident heading into Tuesday's match at the San Siro.

Since losing to Barca, Inter have recorded impressive 3-0 and 5-0 wins over Lazio and Genoa, respectively, the latter despite resting the likes of Mauro Icardi for the match.

While that speaks to their firepower, back-to-back clean sheets have been typical of their superb defence:

6 - Among teams with at least 11 games played in the top-5 european leagues 2018/19, @Inter have conceded the fewest goals (six, alongside Atlético Madrid). Amala. #InterGenoa

Eurosport's Siavoush Fallahi is eagerly anticipating the match with Barca:

Siavoush Fallahi @SiavoushF

San Siro will be boiling for Inter - Barcelona I’m already having goosebumps

Barca have been a force to be reckoned with in the Champions League this season, putting four past PSV Eindhoven and Tottenham Hotspur before their win over Inter, and they'll be even stronger if Messi is available.

Beating them will be difficult, but if Inter can play as they have in recent matches, they have an excellent chance of getting something from the match on home soil.
