It's Champions League week again, and this time, the last leg of the semifinals will be played this week as two teams will be heading to the final in Munich. Last week, we saw a crazy match between the four teams in the competition as all four teams still had a chance to qualify as the match was still open. Tomorrow evening Inter Milan will go head-to-head with FC Barcelona at their home stadium. Last week, both teams played a 3-3 draw, which was the highlight of last week's Champions League match.
The two teams showed they had what it takes to make it to the final of the competition this year with the way they played last week. FC Barcelona impressed me with their performance against Inter Milan because I was expecting a team that finished 120 minutes against Real Madrid in a high-intensity match to still go hard against Inter Milan in three days. Hansi Flick has done an incredible job with Barcelona because beating their arch-rivals three times this season and out of it two was a final speaks volumes of how good Barcelona is this season.
Inter Milan, on the other hand, has not been that solid in their three recent matches before facing Barcelona, but I have to hand it to them for putting off that six-goal thriller with FC Barcelona last week. The big question now is who will head to the Champions League final between Barcelona and Inter Milan. There have been debates about this match over the past week now and I have seen some threads about how the San Sario( Inter Milan home stadium) atmosphere will be tense for FC Barcelona players, but they forgetting one thing this season that it doesn't matter who plays home and away because Barcelona can win anywhere this season.
They did it against Real Madrid this season in Bernabeu. Dortmund also got beaten at their home stadium during the league stage, and the same goes for Benfica. Barcelona are so good that they can beat any opposition home and away this season. FC Barcelona and Inter Milan could be missing key players from their squad for tomorrow's match due to injuries, but nevertheless, both teams have to give it their all tomorrow night and as Hansi has said the team is going to play a final before the main final, so we should be expecting an exciting match.
The Champions League has been amazing this season and although with the new format, most fans didn't like it but personally, it is okay and in more years to come everyone will be more familiar with the format. I will be rooting for Barcelona tomorrow because they deserve to win it with the way they have played this season, even as much as Inter Milan deserves to reach this final as well, but Barcelona are my favourite to win the UCL this season. It will all go down, and by this time tomorrow, we should know who will Be going into the final between the two teams. So, guys, thanks for stopping by, and have a good evening.
