Context: Two Paths, One Goal

A thrilling chapter in European football history will be revisited this Wednesday, April 30, 2025, when FC Barcelona hosts Inter Milan in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. The match rekindles memories of the famous 2010 semifinal, when Inter eliminated Barcelona en route to winning the title under José Mourinho. Now, both clubs dream of booking their ticket to the final on May 31 at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

FC Barcelona, under Hansi Flick, enters the tie on a high after winning the Copa del Rey against Real Madrid and currently leads LaLiga, keeping their treble hopes alive. Despite missing key players such as Robert Lewandowski and Alejandro Balde, the team’s confidence is soaring thanks to strong performances from Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, and Pedri.

Inter Milan, led by Simone Inzaghi, arrives in contrasting form. The Italian giants have lost their last three matches in Serie A, but their Champions League form has been stellar — only one loss in 12 matches, with just five goals conceded throughout the campaign.
