Champions League: FC Barcelona vs Inter Milan, Camp Nou, Tuesday, November 24 2009, 20:45 CET

With important elements of Barca's sqaud possibly sidelined for tonight's match, and given how important it is for us to win and who we are up against, we can't help but be nervous. Inter Milan are no easy opponents, and Barca are in need of a win to favor qualification to the next stage of the Champions League

It's going to be tough... but even through rough patches never do we stop believing in this team and their abilites, no matter who is on the pitch; we have faith that they can pull through.

Who will or won't make this match is still uncertain. Leo Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are possibilities, though nothing has been confirmed yet, and in the meantime, B-teamers Jonathan Dos Santos and Andreu Fontas have been called up. Pep must still decide on one player to leave out of the current twenty-man squad, which also includes Rafael Marquez, returning from a bit of flu: Valdés, Pinto, Puyol, Piqué, Márquez, Alves, Maxwell, Keita, Sergio Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Jeffren, Messi, Ibrahimovic, Pedro, Bojan, Jonathan Dos Santos, Fontàs and Henry.

Random facts: Should Henry play tonight (we vote he ought to start), it will mark his 100th match with Barca, congrats!

- The match will be refereed by the same dude who commanded the Champions League final in Rome last year - hopefully we'll see a similar result?
