Inter Milan's recent poor form does not erase the progress they have made over the last four years, coach Simone Inzaghi said ahead of their Champions League semi-final first leg against Barcelona on Wednesday.

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi urged his players to forget a difficult week and face Barcelona with no fear in Wednesday's Champions League semifinal.

Strange things happen when Inter Milan plays Barcelona in the Champions League semifinals. The last time the two teams met in the final four of Europe’s elite club competition, in 2010, Barcelona had to make a 15-hour journey by bus to Milan and lost that first leg 3-1.
