It was a spectacular match with momentum swinging back and forth, stretching the game from 90 to 120 minutes. However, a precise strike from right-back Jules Koundé prevented the match from going to penalties. The team's first goal came from a stunning shot by midfielder Pedri, while forward Ferran Torres added the second to his tally.
🔗 Things are also going well for the team in La Liga. In their last fixture, Dani Olmo's goal secured a 1-0 home win over Mallorca. With five rounds remaining in the season, Barça sit at the top, holding a four-point lead over Real Madrid.

📌 The path to the Champions League semifinals has been both straightforward and challenging. In the first leg of the quarterfinals, the Catalans comfortably dispatched Borussia Dortmund at home with a 4-0 win.

⚪ After their victory over Bayern, it seemed Simone Inzaghi and his squad's belief in achieving the treble only grew stronger. Inter were leading Serie A, competing in the Coppa Italia semifinals, and had advanced to the Champions League semifinals. The team had a chance to replicate their famous triumph from the 2009/10 season under José Mourinho when they claimed all three trophies.
🔗 However, in the very next league round, the Nerazzurri unexpectedly suffered a defeat away at Bologna (0-1), then crashed out of the cup semifinals against Milan (1-1; 0-3), and in the last round at San Siro, they lost to Roma (0-1). With four matches remaining in the season, Inter relinquished their lead and now trail Napoli by three points. They were chasing the treble but could end up with nothing.
📌 Let's recall the Italians' path to the semifinals of Europe's premier club competition. In the Round of 16, the Milanese side comfortably dispatched Feyenoord (2-0; 2-1) and then edged past Bayern in a thrilling encounter (4-3 on aggregate).

Editor's Prediction
The game promises to be intense with plenty of action on both ends. Despite Inter's usually reliable defense, Hansi Flick's side has every chance to showcase their attacking prowess once again. The Nerazzurri are not in the best physical and mental shape, while the Blaugrana are charging towards titles with full steam, having scored at least two goals in six consecutive home Champions League matches. Based on this trend, a well-founded bet would be Barcelona's individual total over 1.5 goals.
