Lionel Messi's absence is a big blow for Barcelona and levels the playing field for Inter in their Champions League clash, according to Inter captain Mauro Icardi.

Barca will be without five-time Ballon d'Or winner and superstar Messi for Wednesday's fixture at Camp Nou after he broke his arm in last week's 4-2 victory against Sevilla in LaLiga.

Inter and Barca have won their opening two games heading into matchday three and Icardi believes the Serie A side can go toe-to-toe with the LaLiga champions in the absence of Messi.
