Barcelona have named an experimental lineup for their final Champions League group against Inter Milan at the San Siro on Tuesday. 

The Italians are still fighting to book their place in the last 16 but Barça are already through as group winners so have no pressure on them in Milan. 

Therefore, coach Ernesto Valverde has picked a system with three centre-backs (Todibo, Umtiti and Lenglet) and two wing-backs (Wague and Junior).

The midfield comprises of Rakitic, Arturo Vidal and Aleña, while the only two forwards in the side are Carles Perez and Griezmann. 

Luis Suarez, who is without an away goal in Europe since 2015 is on the bench, along with Marc-Andre ter Stegen, with Neto starting in goal. 

Riqui Puig, the Barça B midfielder is not even a substitute. 

 

The team is: Neto, Wague, Todibo, Umtiti, Lenglet, Junior, Rakitic, Arturo Vidal, Aleñá, Carles Pérez & Griezmann.
