The best match, certainly, of this year 2025 (so far) offered us a brilliant backheel from Marcus Thuram , a fantastic volley from Dumfries or even the genius of Yamal with notably a Maradona-esque ride on his goal ... Obviously, we want more!

Slight favorites in this double confrontation, the Blaugranas will have to put in a solid performance both offensively and defensively on Tuesday evening in this semi-final second leg to overcome this formidable Milan team, which eliminated Bayern Munich in the previous round. Ten years after their last Champions League final (a 3-1 victory against Juventus), the five-time European champions are looking to reign supreme on the Old Continent once again after a few years of drought.

"We'll give it our all in Milan. We were superior (in the first leg) despite the draw. I'm sure we'll go through," said 17-year-old prodigy Lamine Yamal. "We'll play the return leg like a final," added coach Hansi Flick.

The successful German coach at Bayern has already left his mark this year with two trophies won, the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey. Four points ahead of their historic rivals Merengue in La Liga after their narrow 2-1 victory over bottom-placed Valladolid, Barça can clinch the championship on Sunday afternoon (4:15 p.m.) in El Clasico to secure their 28th league title. But five days before that, there's the perilous trip to San Siro.

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi made 10 changes Saturday night during his team's narrow 1-0 victory over Hellas Verona in Serie A. Despite this success, the defending Nerazzurri are unlikely to win another Scudetto, as they are three points behind leaders Napoli, who have a very favorable schedule with three matches remaining. The goal is clearly to reach a second Champions League final within two years (defeated 1-0 by Manchester City in 2023).

"We're only two games away from a title, despite all the difficulties we've encountered," insists Simone Inzhagi. "We took Inter to the top of the UEFA rankings when we were 16th or 17th four years ago. We've already achieved something very great, but we want to go further." Praising the youngster Yamal, the Italian coach assured that there would be no plan against him this Tuesday evening. "It's very difficult to deprive him of the ball, we'll try," he promises. "We'll pay particular attention to him, there will be double marking on him, but as he showed in the first leg, he's an exceptional talent, very dangerous when he has the ball, who impressed me with the speed of his decision-making."

Inter could benefit from the return of their captain and Argentinian striker Lautaro Martinez, who was taken off in the first leg with a left thigh injury, as well as world champion Benjamin Pavard, who is back after missing the first leg (ankle).
