According to reports, fifteen years after a memorable semi-final clash between these two teams, they meet again in the same stage. The winner will face either Arsenal or Paris Saint-Germain in the final.

Barcelona is chasing a historic treble but will be without their top scorer, Robert Lewandowski, due to a hamstring injury. The Polish striker is sidelined and is unlikely to return for the second leg next week. Lewandowski joins Alejandro Balde, Marc Bernal, and Marc Casadó as confirmed absentees for Barcelona. Hansi Flick confirmed that Wojciech Szczęsny will remain in goal despite Marc-André ter Stegen’s return from injury.

On the other side, Inter Milan hopes Marcus Thuram can feature in this match. The French forward missed the last three games due to a thigh injury but is expected to be on the bench tonight.

Alessandro Bastoni and Henrikh Mkhitaryan return after serving suspensions in Serie A. Denzel Dumfries and Piotr Zieliński, who featured against Roma, have also recovered from injuries.

Inter Milan’s treble dream ended last week after a defeat to AC Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-finals. That loss followed consecutive Serie A defeats against Bologna and Roma, allowing Napoli to take control of the title race.

This is the first time in eight years that Inter has lost three consecutive matches across all competitions without scoring. Simone Inzaghi demands his team regain their defensive strength, which has seen them concede only five goals in 12 Champions League matches this season.

Barcelona: Szczęsny, Koundé, Cubarsí, Martínez, Martín, De Jong, Pedri, Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha, Torres
