Semi-finals of Champions League: Notable information and figures for the upcoming games' continuations
Get ready to see some high-stakes Champions League action as the semifinals heat up! Here's a rundown of the remaining matches:
Tuesday, 8pm BST
Inter (3) v (3) Barcelona
The first leg between Inter and Barcelona was nothing short of thrilling, with both sides swapping the lead multiple times. Inter, coming off a nerve-wracking 3-2 defeat in Catalonia, has been a formidable side at home, losing only to arch-rivals Milan and Roma since the start of last season. With star player Lautaro Martinez expecting to recover from his injury, the Nerazzurri are confident they can turn the tide on home turf.
Barcelona, meanwhile, are eager to make it to their first Champions League final since 2015. Star strikers Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski are both in contention to finish as the 2024/25 Champions League top scorer. A goal for Raphinha would earn him a spot at the top alongside Borussia Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy, while Lewandowski sits just one goal behind.
Wednesday, 8pm BST
PSG (1) v (0) Arsenal
Arsenal find themselves in a challenging position, as they must overturn a first-leg home defeat to win on aggregate. The pressure is mounting for Mikel Arteta's side, who have suffered consecutive losses for the first time since six months ago.
PSG, on the other hand, boast an impressive European campaign, knocking out both Liverpool and Aston Villa en route to the semifinals. Despite conceding in each of their three home games against English opposition, only Liverpool have managed to snatch a win in Paris.
Both PSG and Arsenal are yet to capture the Champions League trophy, but PSG has been the team to watch in the competition, culminating in a favorable pre-final odds of approximately -158 to -160 to win the title[1][2].
With the scoreline tied at 0-1, Arsenal has a chance to force extra time if they can turn things around in Paris. However, PSG's strong home form and financial might could be key to securing their first-ever Champions League title[3].
