This season’s UEFA Champions League semi-finals promise high drama and continental rivalry, with four teams from four different countries vying for a place in the final after a thrilling round of quarter-finals.
Arsenal will face Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), while Barcelona will go head-to-head with Inter Milan in what is shaping up to be a blockbuster final four.
Mikel Arteta’s side stunned the 15-time European champions with back-to-back wins: a commanding 3-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium and a 2-1 win at the Santiago Bernabéu in what many are calling the biggest upset of this season’s competition.
Meanwhile, Barcelona reached their first Champions League semi-final since 2019. Under the guidance of Hansi Flick, the Catalan giants overcame Borussia Dortmund with a 5-3 aggregate score. Barca cruised to a 4-0 first-leg win at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys before falling 3-1 in the return leg in Germany.
Inter Milan, runners-up in 2023, edged out Bayern Munich 4-3 on aggregate after a 2-2 draw at the San Siro, setting up a high-stakes clash against Barca, a team they famously defeated en route to their 2010 treble.
