FC Barcelona will soon face Inter Milan<\/a> in a tie valid for the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25<\/strong>. A series that will kick off on Wednesday, April 30<\/strong> at the Estadi Ol\u00edmpic Llu\u00eds Companys and conclude at the Giuseppe Meazza<\/strong>, in Italian territory, on Tuesday, May 6<\/strong>.<\/p> Unexpectedly, a minimal but important ‘advantage’ has emerged for Barcelona<\/strong> ahead of this crucial clash against Inter Milan<\/strong>. The reason? The difference in the number of rest days each team will have before the first leg of the ‘semis’.<\/p> The Catalan team will arrive at the European clash after playing El Cl\u00e1sico against Real Madrid<\/a>, corresponding to the final of the Copa del Rey<\/strong>, on Saturday, April 26<\/strong> at the La Cartuja stadium. This will give Barcelona<\/strong> three full days of rest<\/strong> before the match against the ‘nerazzurri’, a standard period to recover energy after a highly demanding commitment.<\/p> For their part, Inter Milan<\/strong> also planned to play their Serie A<\/strong> match against AS Roma<\/strong> on Saturday, April 26, so the planning seemed even. However, an extraordinary event has changed the plans. The death of Pope Francis<\/a> has caused an alteration in multiple events in Italy, including football.<\/p> The official funeral of the Supreme Pontiff will be held precisely on Saturday the 26th, and as it is a ceremony of great magnitude, the match between Inter Milan<\/strong> and AS Roma<\/strong> has been rescheduled for Sunday, April 27 at 17:00 hours<\/strong>.<\/p> Nuova data per #InterRoma<\/a> \ud83d\udc47<\/p> \u2014 Inter \u2b50\u2b50 (@Inter) April 22, 2025<\/a> <\/blockquote> This change implies that the ‘nerazzurri’ team will arrive at the Champions League<\/strong> commitment against Barcelona<\/strong> with one less day of rest<\/strong> than the ‘cul\u00e9s’, which represents an improvement compared to the initial scenario that was anticipated. At the time, it was even speculated that Simone Inzaghi’s<\/strong> team could arrive at the European clash with up to seven days of rest<\/strong>, as there was no certainty as to when the match against the ‘Wolf’ would be rescheduled. Their only confirmed commitment was the return leg of the Copa Italia<\/strong> ‘semis’ against AC Milan<\/strong>, to be played this Wednesday, April 23.<\/p> The unexpected event that disrupts Inter Milan’s plans<\/h2>
One less day of rest for the ‘nerazzurri’ team<\/h2>
Will this extra rest affect Barcelona?<\/h3>
