Barcelona vs Inter Milan, UEFA – Champions League, Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, 20:00

Fifteen years after their last clash in the Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona and Inter Milan convene for another last-four tie, with Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys playing host to Wednesday’s first leg.

Inter prevailed in 2010, but Barca now aim to eliminate their Italian rivals and meet either Arsenal or Paris Saint-Germain in next month’s decider.

Having made it through to the semis with apparent ease, Barcelona are now bidding to reach the Champions League final for the first time since claiming their fifth European Cup in 2015.

En route, the Catalan club has won five and drawn one of their six home matches while racking up 21 goals, and Flick’s free-scoring team notched three more in Seville on Saturday evening, as they came out on top in a typically dramatic ‘El Clasico’ edition of the Copa del Rey final.

Having been stunned by a last-gasp goal in Bologna – abruptly ending their 13-game unbeaten streak – before exiting the cup to Milan a few days later, Sunday’s top-flight fixture brought a third straight loss without scoring.

Still on course for a quadruple this season, Barcelona are unbeaten in six home games against Inter to date, and they can continue in that same vein at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.

With worries surrounding form and fitness, the ageing squad of the Nerazzurri risks finishing their trophy hunt without success. We predict a victory for Barcelona at home.
