Matches that teams play before the Champions League are not always worth taking into account, as they may not always be indicative, but I agree that Barcelona are now in much better shape than Inter. Actually, when you get into the same group with Bayern and Barcelona, it already sounds like a verdict, Inter initially had very little chance of reaching the playoffs. Maybe I'm too hasty with conclusions, there are still many matches ahead, but I doubt that Inter can beat Barcelona.
Even having teams like Barcelona and Bayern Munich has never been ideal but with the current form Inter is surely going to be in trouble because things are not looking good for them in Serie A and Champions League here they are going to face their second defeat at home with Barcelona is surely at the top of their performance in last few weeks and Inter is having not good start even after International break they lost first match against Roma which is creating problems for them and their coach.
With current form now few chances they could be in top two teams in Serie A table and here in Champions League now they have to be stayed at third spot because they cannot achieve their targets which are needs to be done in coming matches.
