UEFA Champions League Barca vs Inter semifinals Preview

On Wednesday, April 30, Inter Milan will travel to Spain to face FC Barcelona, who knocked out Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals.
Historically, the two clubs have met 16 times in European competitions (Champions League + Europa League), with Barcelona holding a clear advantage: 8 wins, 5 draws, and only 3 losses.
However, looking at their most recent meetings in the 2022–23 Champions League group stage, Inter defeated Barça 1-0 at home and drew 3-3 in the return leg at Camp Nou — a sign that times have been relatively lean for Barcelona in recent years.
Additionally, the last time the two sides met in semi-final was during Inter’s historic treble 2009–10 season.
Inter won the first leg 3-1 at home and narrowly lost 1-0 in the return leg at Camp Nou, advancing to the final with a 3-2 aggregate score — and ultimately going on to win the tournament.
Did you know: Inter have conceded the fewest goals in this season’s Champions League(lose 5 goals in 12 matches). And 🇦🇷Lautaro Martínez has scored in his last five Champions League fixtures.
In short, this Inter side — currently top of Serie A — is no easy opponent, especially with their rock-solid defense. It’s so tight, even a fly trying to get through would get swatted down.
