The 2nd leg of the Champions League semi-final between Spanish Giants Barcelona and Italian champions Inter will be played in the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milano. The last leg ended in a 3-3 draw between the two clubs. Both teams will be looking to make their way to the Champions League Final, which will take place inthe Allianz Arena, Germany.
Match Preview
Inter
Inzaghi would become only the second Inter manager to take Inter to two Champions League finals, and this would give the 49-year-old some extra motivation. In the previous leg, Denzil Dumfries scored his first Champions League brace, and after Marcus Thuram’s backheel strike, Inter were leading 2-0, but they blew up the lead. However, there is no time for regrets as the team will now be looking to show the same attacking display they showed in the previous leg. Inter haven’t lost any of their last 16 Champions League matches at their home. Another positive for Inter is that they have only lost once to Barca in the past six matches when playing at home.
Barcelona
Flick has managed to change the fortunes of Barca this season. His star player, Yamal, pulled off a wonderful performance in the previous leg and played a big role in Barca’s comeback. The likes of Pedri, Raphinha, and Olmo will be playing a very big role in the match, and if Barca wants to reach the Champions League Final, then all these players will need to play up to their potential. Another positive for Barca will be the return of Robert Lewandowski, who will bring much-needed experience to this young Barca side.
What to expect?
This match could go all the way, and equally, it could go either way. Last week’s encounter was just an indicator of what is coming up next. Both Inter and Barca will surely be giving everything on the field, and it will be interesting to see who will be able to control their emotions will progress to the Champions League Final.
