They are coming fresh off their Copa del Rey final victory over Real Madrid.<\/p><p>The Blaugrana will host Inter on Wednesday night at Estadi Ol&iacute;mpic Llu&iacute;s Companys. In the press conference ahead of this game, Flick acknowledged the emotional boost from Barca&rsquo;s Copa del Rey win. However, he also emphasized that the Champions League presents a different kind of challenge. Flick said:<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>&ldquo;We are only focused on the first leg and that is the first part of the objective.

However, in his absence, Wojciech Szczesny not only took care of the job, but also thrived at it. As a result, the German coach confirmed that Szczesny will still start in goal for this match as well. Otherwise, he didn&rsquo;t reveal his plans for possible rotations. Flick said:<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>&ldquo;Tek will play in the Champions League and maybe we change in La Liga&hellip; We&rsquo;ll see tomorrow.
