The first 2025 Champions League final participant will be decided on Tuesday night when Inter host Barcelona in the second leg of their semifinal clash.
Despite entering the first leg in poor domestic form, Simone Inzaghi’s Nerazzurri found another gear in Catalonia and raced into an early 2-0 lead. They were eventually pegged back, but the Italians undoubtedly would’ve been content from their evening’s work. A 3-3 draw means it’s all to play for at San Siro this week.
Inzaghi’s men are battling Napoli for the Scudetto, but there was little change at the summit over the weekend as both title hopefuls claimed 1-0 victories.
Barcelona, meanwhile, remain four points clear at the top of La Liga after coming from behind to beat bottom-of-the-table Real Valladolid 2-1 on Saturday. While Inter’s treble hopes have been dashed over the past couple of weeks, Barca’s are still very much alive. The Copa del Rey victors require a big performance in a tough environment on Tuesday to advance, but Hansi Flick’s side are more than capable of blowing their diligent hosts away.
