Inter Milan and Barcelona, locked at 3-3 after a Camp Nou thriller, clash at San Siro for a place in the Champions League final.

Fixture: Inter Milan vs Barcelona
Date: Tuesday, 6 May 2025
Kick-off: 20:00 (UK)
Venue: San Siro, Milan

After the enthralling 3-3 draw in last week's first leg, this one promises to be another unmissable contest between two excellent sides - with contrasting approaches to the game.

Inter will line up with their familiar back three, allowing Dumfries and Dimarco to cause their visitors problems in wide areas, while Barcelona will look to exploit the space in behind the wing backs by giving the ball to their dangerous wingers, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal.

After the first-leg goal-fest, this game is likely to be slightly less chaotic, but we're backing Inter to get the job done in front of their own fans and knock out the favourites.

Match Prediction: Inter Milan 2-1 Barcelona

Inter's form has been below par in the last few weeks, winning just once in their last six in all competitions and finding themselves three points behind Serie A leaders Napoli.

However a win a the weekend and their thrilling draw at the Camp Nou last week will have confidence levels high as they approach this season-defining semi-final second leg.

Last 5 matches (all competitions):

• Win: 1-0 vs Hellas Verona (H)
• Draw: 3-3 vs Barcelona (A) - UCL
• Loss: 0-1 vs Roma (H)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Milan (H) - Coppa Italia
• Loss: 0-1 vs Bologna (A)
  

In contrast, Barcelona have been on an excellent run of form, with four wins from their last five - the exception being last week's draw with Inter.

Barca's attack will always believe they can outscore the opposition, which often seems to be the priority over keeping clean sheets, and with one trophy already under their belt this season, the Catalan club will be hungry to add the UCL to their haul.

Last 5 matches (all competitions):

• Win: 2-1 vs Real Valladolid (A)

• Win: 3-2 vs Real Madrid (Neutral ground) - Copa del Ray
• Win: 1-0 vs Mallorca (H)

Inter’s 3-5-2 will lean on Nicolò Barella’s drive and Federico Dimarco’s wing-back surges. They’ll press high to disrupt Barca’s midfield, but set-piece frailties may be exposed by Barcelona’s significant aerial threat.

Barca’s 4-2-3-1, potentially missing a handful of players, relies on Pedri’s guile and the wingers' outstanding individual ability. Yann Sommer will be tested by the likes of Yamal, while Barca's possession-based approach could frustrate their hosts.

• Inter vs Spanish clubs: Inter have won 12 of their last 17 home games against Spanish sides, with last week's 3-3 the only draw.

Inter:

• Denzel Dumfries: Scorer of a first-leg brace, the wing-back wil cause Barca a host of problems.
• Hakan Çalhanoğlu: Inter's midfield metronome will look to set the tempo.
• Federico Dimarco: Always keen to join the attacks, but he must stop Yamal.

Barcelona:

• Raphinha: 12 goals, 8 assists in this season's UCL - the competition's top scorer.
• Lamine Yamal: He became the youngest semi-final scorer ever last week, and will be key for Barca again here.
• Ferran Torres: Torres also scored last week, and will needs to step up if Lewandowski remains absent.
