  April 30, 2025 Barcelona - Internazionale Barcelona and Inter Milan will meet in the Champions League semi-finals, 15 years after their last knockout encounter. The Spanish side will welcome the Italian giants in a match that promises to showcase the offensive style of Hansi Flick against the defensive stability of Simone Inzaghi.
