After penalties defeats for both sides in the semi-finals, it's a quick turnaround for much changed outfits in Wednesday's curtain-raiser
Internacional are likely to make changes after putting in a concerted effort against Barcelona, but could still find more minutes for the likes of Andres D'Alessandro and Leandro Damiao during the second half.
Massimiliano Allegri has a full squad available, and having spelled many of his first team squad for little over 60 minutes in the semi-final against Bayern Munich, he could give second run-outs to a number of players. The likes of Seedorf, Zambrotta, Thiago Silva, Robinho and Pato could be given starts after seeing little or no playing time on Tuesday.
Probable Lineups
Barcelona (4-3-3)
Valdes; Cuenca, Fontas, Abidal, Maxwell; Keita, Thiago, Busquets; Afellay, Villa, Jonathan

The Catalan and Bavarian heavyweights face off in a prestige clash on Wednesday. Goal.com previews the action at the Allianz Arena.
The Catalans managed to see off Internacional in the semifinal without the use of several of their finest players, so Pep Guardiola will have many options available as he prepares for the showdown against Bayern. However, South American contingent Lionel Messi, Javier Mascherano, Gabriel Milito, Alexis Sanchez, Adriano and Dani Alves will all be missing as they enjoy a brief break following the Copa America.
After using the vast majority of the starting team for 90 minutes against Milan on Tuesday, Bayern is sure to field a B-team against Barcelona. Most of the club's usual first team squad will be available at least from the bench, but after picking up a bruise in the semifinal, Arjen Robben will join Franck Ribery in the stands.
