Tue May 06 17:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Inter Milan and Barcelona Face Off in Champions League Showdown
**Milan, Italy** – Inter Milan and Barcelona are set to clash in a decisive Champions League semi-final second leg at the San Siro on Tuesday. Following a thrilling 3-3 draw in the first leg, the match is poised to be a high-stakes battle for a spot in the final.
Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni described the upcoming match as a “Game 7” scenario, emphasizing the 50-50 nature of the tie. He highlighted the importance of home support and the team’s determination to reach the final in Munich on May 31st. The winner will face the victor of the Arsenal-PSG semi-final.
A key focus for Inter will be containing Barcelona’s teenage sensation, Lamine Yamal. The 17-year-old’s impressive performance in the first leg, including a goal, has earned him widespread praise. Bastoni, who previously played against Yamal in the European Championship, acknowledged the young player’s rapid rise and the need for a robust defensive strategy to neutralize his threat, though he stressed that Barcelona poses a threat beyond just Yamal.
While Barcelona’s star striker Robert Lewandowski has recovered from a hamstring injury, manager Hansi Flick confirmed he will start on the bench. The 36-year-old missed the first leg and several previous matches due to the injury.
Kick-off is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on CBS and streamed via Paramount+.
