A highly anticipated clash is set as Barcelona welcome Inter Milan for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final clash on Wednesday.
Hansi Flick's side have impressed in both the league phase and knockout rounds. They secured their berth in this phase of the tournament with a 5-3 win over Borussia Dortmund across two legs in the quarterfinals. Barcelona come into this fixture full of confidence after defeating Real Madrid to win the 2025 Copa del Rey.
Inter Milan, on the other hand, advanced to the semifinals following a 4-3 win over Bayern Munich on aggregate. They have hit a bit of a rough patch recently, with three consecutive goalless losses including a 1-0 defeat to AS Roma in their last Serie A match.

Barcelona vs. Inter Milan predicted lineups, team news
Robert Lewandowski remains on the sidelines with a hamstring injury and the May 11 Clasico against Real Madrid remains the star striker's target. Ferran Torres produced an impressive goalscoring appearance in his absence in the Copa del Rey final.
Alejandro Balde is battling to return from his own hamstring problem and Gerard Martin is ready to continue at left-back if he does not make it.
Marc Casado remains out with a knee problem and Marc Bernal is a long-term absentee.
Barcelona predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Szczesny (GK) — Kounde, I. Martinez, Cubarsi, Gerard Martin — Pedri, de Jong — Raphinha, Olmo, Lamine Yamal — Ferran.
Injured: Lewandowski (hamstring), Balde (hamstring, doubt), Casado (knee), Bernal (ACL).
Suspended: None
Marcus Thuram is closing in on fitness and hopes to start up front alongside Lautaro Martinez after missing Inter's past three matches with a thigh problem. Joaquin Correa, Medhi Taremi and veteran forward Marko Arnautovic are Inzaghi's alternatives.
Denzel Dumfries and Piotr Zielinski each returned to action against Roma following lay-offs and suffered no ill-effects, although defender Benjamin Pavard is a major doubt after suffering a sprained ankle.
Inter Milan predicted lineup (3-5-2): Sommer (GK) — Augusto, Acerbi, Bastoni — Dumfries, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Barella, Dimarco — Martinez, Thuram.
Injured: Pavard (ankle, doubt), Thuram (muscular, doubt)
