As for Araujo, he should play CB and man-mark Thuram

Guy cauzed many problems to both Inigo and Cubarsi through his physicality.
And he was the reference point for many of their counters: they target him, he wins the difficult ball and spreads it to Lautaro and the rest

The only man that can physically pocket him is Araujo.

He can't imo. He's a strong 1 v1 defender but a poor man marker because of his poor positioning and defensive awareness.

Also seems dodgy in the air these days.

Yeah I also think Araujo should start

People don't trust him because of the PSG brainfart but we have to risk it, hope he has learnt from his mistakes and won't repeat similar shit again

Defensively he can help us a lot and that's what we need in second leg because attack is not a problem with quality we have

Flick:

"We analyze everything. From the outside, you might think one thing, but we always have a reason for our decisions."
"We need to defend much better, and there will surely be some changes. That's all I can say."
"Lewandowski? He's ready. He'll start on the bench and could get minutes. We talked about it yesterday."
"Lamine is a genius. What he does with the ball is incredible, especially at his age. Last Wednesday's game was incredible to watch, but now we're in the second leg and we need everyone."
"We've already won two titles this season. The players grow with each game and aren't burdened by the pressure. This is a Champions League semi-final, but you have to go out and enjoy it and compete."
"Inter is a very strong team with great players."
"It might be a good idea to avoid giving away corners... It's not something you can coach, but players know what to do in that situation."
