Inter’s Federico Dimarco Struggles Ahead of Champions League Semifinal

Milan, Italy – On April 29, 2025, Federico Dimarco‘s recent performances for Inter Milan have raised concerns, despite solid seasonal statistics. Dimarco, who has recorded four goals and six assists in the league, has struggled in the last four matches. Errors against Bayern Munich, Bologna, AC Milan, and AS Roma resulted in below-average ratings.

Dimarco’s drop in form is evident, prompting questions from Gazzetta dello Sport about his recent struggles. The outlet joked, “Where has the real Dimarco gone, and who stole his superpowers?”

As Inter prepares for the Champions League semifinal against FC Barcelona, coach Simone Inzaghi is considering starting Carlos Augusto in place of Dimarco. This would be a shocking move, as Dimarco has been a key player, especially on the left flank. He had dreams of competing in such high-stakes matches.

Dimarco aims to regain his form, recalling his earlier success, like the powerful left-footed goal against Napoli on March 1 and four consecutive assists against Udinese, Parma, and Cagliari.

However, the recent form also presents challenges. The upcoming matchup will see him up against Lamine Yamal, touted as the strongest seventeen-year-old in Europe. Inzaghi has highlighted the importance of having Carlos Augusto available as a versatile option, solving any tactical issues that may arise.

Dimarco still holds an edge to start against Barcelona, with Inzaghi relying on his double threat alongside Dumfries. As the team seeks to reclaim their talent and potential, every move counts in this crucial semifinal.
