    Inter Milan and Barcelona face off tonight at San Siro in the decisive second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final after a thrilling 3-3 draw  in the first leg. Fans should expect another high-intensity, goal-filled encounter as both teams vie for a place in the final.



    Barcelona, buoyed by the brilliance of teen star Lamine Yamal and a potent attack, will look to capitalize on their slight head-to-head advantage and recent success in Italy, where they have won three of their last six visits. Despite some injury concerns, including the absence of defender Jules Kounde and uncertainty over Robert Lewandowski’s fitness, Barcelona's attacking flair remains a major threat.



    Inter Milan, unbeaten in 15 home championship games and with a strong record in semi-finals at San Siro, will rely on their solid defense and set-piece prowess. Key players like Alessandro Bastoni and Denzel Dumfries, who scored twice in the first leg, are expected to play pivotal roles. However, Inter face uncertainty over captain Lautaro Martínez’s availability due to a hamstring injury.



    Both coaches acknowledge the challenge ahead: Barcelona must attack to progress, while Inter will seek to balance defense with quick transitions. The atmosphere at San Siro is electric, with record gate receipts reflecting the high stakes and fan excitement. This match is widely regarded as a "Game 7" style showdown, promising a thrilling battle for European glory.



    In effect, fans should anticipate an open, fiercely contested match with potential for multiple goals, as two of Europe’s elite clubs fight for a spot in the Champions League final in Munich later this month
