Barcelona Prediction
Moneyline
After defeating Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final and leading LaLiga, Barcelona remains the class of the league and Europe, winning 24 out of their past 30 games with just one loss since December 2024. A significant contributor to their success is forward Lamine Yamal, a La Masia graduate who has scored an impressive five goals in the Champions League for a career teenager, only surpassed by Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, and Raul.
The Blaugranas are on the brink of a treble, but history has not always been kind to them. They have lost their past four Champions League semifinal away games and are 1-5 against Inter at San Siro. Despite this, Flick's team counts on an abundance of talent, with German goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen returning to the starting 11 following a 2-1 win over Real Valladolid after recovering from a seven-month knee injury.
-0.5+110
Defenders Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde remain out with hamstring problems, while striker Robert Lewandowski is in doubt for the starting 11 due to a similar issue.
3.5+102o / -139u
Inter Prediction
130
Inter, with three points behind Serie A leaders Napoli, have proved that no team should underestimate them. Although they crashed out of the Coppa Italia semifinals, the Champions League title might be their final hope. In the first leg, Inter showed their ability to trade blows with Barcelona and even raised doubts about a possible victory.
Defense is critical for Inter, who conceded just 0.62 goals per Champions League game, the least of any team except Liverpool. They demonstrated this strength in their path to the semis, conceding just five times and keeping eight clean sheets. However, top goalscorer Lautaro Martinez is still doubtful for this game, having yet to return to full training and missing Inter's 1-0 victory over Verona on Saturday which snapped their five-game winless streak.
Overall:
This clash pits Barça, the current LaLiga leaders, against Inter, who are still seeking their Champions League final appearance since 2010. Let's see if our beloved Barcelona can claim victory once more!
