Inter Milan and FC Barcelona<\/a> play this Tuesday the return of the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. The ‘Azulgrana’ team knows that only victory will do to qualify, while the ‘Nerazzurri’ team is also one win away from advancing to the final in Munich, trying to take advantage of the advantage of closing the tie at home.<\/p> After the tribute to football that both teams offered in the first leg in Montju\u00efc, the tie is totally open, with the ‘Cul\u00e9’ side as favorites due to the game displayed this year. Bar\u00e7a, despite the draw in Catalonia, was a clear dominator of the match<\/strong> and deserved the victory more, but the Italian defense withstood the offensive steamroller assembled by Hansi Flick.<\/p> In that sense, Bar\u00e7a is obliged to be more effective in attack and secure in defense if they want to leave Milan with the ticket to Munich. The Giuseppe Meazza will be a real hotbed and, in addition, they will have to deal with the always controversial refereeing of Szymon Marciniak<\/a>, chosen by UEFA to take the reins of such a decisive clash.<\/p> The Pole, after the unusual penalty disallowed to Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez in the shootout of the Atl\u00e9tico-Real Madrid of the round of 16, will lead Bar\u00e7a for the sixth time and, for the third time, a clash between ‘cul\u00e9s’ and ‘nerazzurri’. For now, the Catalans have only won one match with the 44-year-old referee<\/strong> in Champions.<\/p> Hence, the challenge for Flick’s team is tremendous, especially considering that Inter, so far in the Champions League, is undefeated at home (5 wins and 1 draw)<\/strong>. However, in the first leg, Barcelona made it clear that they can breach Simone Inzaghi’s always strong defense.<\/p> The Italians had only conceded 5 goals in their first 12 Champions League matches<\/strong>, but they conceded 3 from Montju\u00efc. Still, they saved a draw and this also shows the need to improve a lot in defense.<\/p> The absences of Alejandro Balde and Jules Kound\u00e9 will weigh heavily<\/a>, so the team will have to be more supportive in the recovery and occupation of spaces. And Bar\u00e7a has 23 victories in 29 matches this 2025, including the final of the Copa del Rey against Real Madrid (3-2).<\/p> However, Tuesday’s will be the most important so far, as it is the key to go for the title of highest hierarchy in the last decade. Barcelona has not reached a Champions League final since 2015<\/strong>, a very heavy burden that has included tough defeats in between. This May 6, it is time to leave all the bad behind and go again for glory.<\/p> On the other hand, for Inter, the Champions League is at this point the last bullet in the chamber to try to save a season that looked like a treble<\/strong>, but that in recent weeks has become unexpectedly complicated at the local level.<\/p> Simone Inzaghi’s team chained three defeats in a row between league and cup<\/strong>, with which they lost the lead in Serie A and the possibility of advancing to the final of the Copa Italia. After the ‘stick’ that meant losing the Italian Super Cup in January, AC Milan defeated them again (0-39 to kick them out of a tournament where the ‘Nerazzurri’ were clear favorites.<\/p> In the league, Naples has taken a three-point advantage<\/strong> with just three matchdays to play, beyond Inter’s victory on Saturday against Hellas Verona (1-0). Therefore, the team is betting everything on the Champions League, a tournament they have only won three times, the last one in 2010. <\/p> Inter still has fresh the bitter memory of the final lost in 2023 against Manchester City (1-0)<\/strong> and hopes to get revenge this year against Arsenal or Paris Saint-Germain. First, they will have to overcome Barcelona again, as they did in 2010 with Jos\u00e9 Mourinho on the bench.<\/p> To face Inter, Hansi Flick will have at his disposal practically the same team that he lined up in the first leg in Montju\u00efc, with the exception of Kound\u00e9<\/strong>. Eric Garc\u00eda is the most reliable option to replace the Frenchman on the right side, while Gerard Mart\u00edn will be again on the left side.<\/p> Szczesny<\/strong> will be in goal despite the return of Ter Stegen, while I\u00f1igo Mart\u00ednez and Pau Cubars\u00ed<\/strong> will remain in the center of the defense. In addition, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri Gonz\u00e1lez and Dani Olmo<\/strong> are called to give fluidity and meaning to the ‘Azulgrana’ game in the midfield.<\/p> In attack, Raphiha and Lamine Yamal will be able to form the offensive trident again with Robert Lewandowski. The ‘LRL’ has 28 goals in 13 Champions League matches<\/a>, surpassing the 27 that the ‘MSN’ scored in 2014-15.<\/p>
Bar\u00e7a will look for the most important victory of this 2025 in Milan<\/h2>

\u26bdThe last 5 matches of Bar\u00e7a:<\/h3>
Inter will exhaust its last bullet to try to save the season<\/h2>
