Edin Dzeko is a player 'who doesn't forgive' in the opponent's area when the ball reaches his feet. The 36-year-old Bosnian player, with a past at City and Roma, has recalled a peculiar statistic that is cause for concern for Barcelona.

Today at two o'clock in the afternoon, Inter Milan faces Barcelona from Spain for the third match of Group C of the UEFA Champions League, in what would be a crucial match for both teams with a view to the round of 16. The teams, both with 3 points, will seek to give their best game to position themselves below Bayern Munich.
In this context, forward Dzeko is excited about the match that will take place at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, since he has a record of having scored against Barcelona in the last 3 Champions League matches they have faced.

Remember that the first time the Bosnian scored against the 'blaugrana team' was when it was coached by Luis Enrique in the 2015-2016 season and it was a scandalous thrashing, with a 6-1 that left Roma in a bad position in front of a packed Camp Nou. The second occasion was also not gratifying because it occurred in the first leg between Barcelona and Roma for the quarterfinals, that day the score would end 4-1.
The 'miracle' happened in the second leg when the 'lupi team' subjected 'the Catalans' by 3-0 and advanced to the semifinals. On that occasion, Dzeko opened the scoring in the 6th minute. "It was a milestone in my career. No one expected something like that after the 4-1 in the first leg. We had to score three goals... and not concede. Everything went perfectly. We scored early, which is important because it gives you energy and excites the crowd. I had never seen Barcelona with so many difficulties. It wasn't them," he commented when recalling the episode.
Wants to continue the streak
'The Bosnian diamond' seeks to revive an Inter that is not doing well, as it comes from a 2-1 loss to Mourinho's Roma and Dybala. Another statistic that puts the victory of the Inzaghi-led team in doubt is that Inter has only won 2 of its fourteen European matches against Barcelona. One of them dates back to a 2-1 in the Fairs Cup in 1970 and the other to 2010 when they prevailed against Pep Guardiola and company by 3-1 in the UEFA Champions League semifinals.
