Inter Milan and Barcelona renew hostilities in the second leg of their huge Champions League semi-final on Tuesday night.
The tie is finely poised following an instant Champions League classic in Spain last week as the two sides shared six goals in a thrilling 3-3 draw.
Inter led twice in the first leg, including racing into a 2-0 lead inside the opening 25 minutes. However, they were pegged back on each occasions and know they must win on home soil to reach a second European final in three seasons.
Barcelona, meanwhile, are still on track to complete a treble. With the Copa del Rey trophy already secured, this is an important week for Hansi Flick’s side as a likely LaLiga title decider against Real Madrid follows their trip to Italy.
Both teams warmed up for the semi-final decider with one-goal victories at the weekend, and all signs are pointing towards another fascinating showdown between two heavyweights of European football.

Inter are set to be boosted by the return of captain Lautaro Martinez. The Argentine striker suffered a knock in the first leg which forced him off at half-time and caused him to miss the 1-0 win over Verona at the weekend.
Benjamin Pavard is also in contention to return, though manager Simone Inzaghi has said he will make a late decision on the pair’s involvement.
Robert Lewandowski has travelled with the Barcelona squad to Italy after recovering from the hamstring injury that has seen him sit out the last four games across all competitions.
However, Alejandro Balde has not recovered from his injury in time and will play no part in Milan along with Jules Kounde and Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Whilst last week’s fixture was one that all the neutrals will have enjoyed, the decider could be a lot more cagey as the stakes are even higher. Barcelona have previous, this season, of following up an high-scoring first leg with a low-scoring second leg.
Not having their first-choice full-backs is a massive blow for the Catalan giants. However, they just have too much firepower and with Lamine Yamal in the form he is in, it’s hard to look past the visitors securing the win to reach the Champions League final.
Barcelona to win, 2-1
On the one occasion the two teams have met in a Champions League semi-final, Inter progressed 3-2 on aggregate thanks to an heroic defensive performance in the second leg at the Camp Nou.
That fixture is arguably best remembered for Jose Mourinho running on the pitch at the full-time whistle with one finger in the air.
