Barcelona welcome Inter Milan to Catalonia for the first leg of what should be an enthralling Champions League semi-final tie.

Barcelona vs Inter Milan Preview
Over the last three matches, these two sides have experienced differing fortunes.
Barcelona won back-to-back games in La Liga and then defeated fierce rivals Real Madrid 3-2 in last Saturday’s Copa del Rey final.
In contrast, Inter’s last three matches have seen them suffer three defeats and score a grand total of zero goals.
On top of consecutive 1-0 losses in Serie A to Bologna and Roma, Simone Inzaghi’s side were dumped out of the Coppa Italia after losing 3-0 to AC Milan in a semi-final second leg.
It is a concerning run, made worse by the fact that Barca have not lost a single home match in the whole of 2025 thus far.
As such, Hansi Flick’s free-scoring side will really be targeting an Inter team which looks unusually weak defensively right now, evidenced by the fact they have not kept a single clean sheet in nine matches.
Barca’s last home match in this competition saw them thrash Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in the quarter-finals, although Inter claimed a crucial 2-1 win at Bayern Munich in their last European away outing.
In terms of injuries, both teams are set to be without two key players. Robert Lewandowski and Alejandro Balde are unavailable for Barca, while French duo Benjamin Pavard and Marcus Thuram are huge doubts for Inter.

Barcelona vs Inter Milan Betting Tips
Lamine Yamal to have over 1.5 shots on target @ 3.25
Despite scoring only four goals, Yamal has recorded 17 shots on target in the Champions League this season, more than Raphinha and Lautaro Martinez! In total, Yamal has taken 37 shots on goal, so there are plenty of stats to support this tip.
Yann Sommer to make over 4.5 saves @ 2.38
Barca lead the way for goals in this edition of the Champions League with 37, two more than any other team. Flick’s side also averages 6.5 shots on target per game, so expect Sommer’s gloves to be tested throughout.
Bet Builder: Barcelona to win, Ferran Torres to score anytime & Denzel Dumfries to be carded @ 6.75
Torres is all set to once again fill Lewandowski’s boots after scoring a crucial equaliser in the Copa del Rey final. He is always a huge goal threat when on the pitch, while Dumfries averages a foul every 40 minutes in the Champions League. These options look ideal for boosting the odds on a Barca victory!
