Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain
- First leg: Arsenal 0-1 Paris (London)
- Second leg: Paris vs Arsenal (Parc des Princes) – 8 May
Arsenal’s sensational run, including a stunning 5-1 aggregate win over defending champions Real Madrid, was dented at home as Ousmane Dembélé’s early strike gave Paris a narrow lead. Mikel Arteta’s men will need a big response in the second leg in Paris to overturn the deficit and book their place in the final for the first time since 2006.
Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard remain key for the Gunners, who will rely on their strong defensive record and dynamic attack to mount a comeback. Meanwhile, Luis Enrique’s Paris side are buoyant after a dramatic knockout run and will feel confident with their home advantage, aiming to reach their second Champions League final in five years.
Barcelona vs Inter Milan
- First leg: 1 May – Barcelona vs Inter (Olympic Stadium)
- Second leg: 8 May – Inter vs Barcelona (San Siro)
Barcelona return to the Champions League semi-finals under new coach Hansi Flick with swagger and belief. Led by starlets Raphinha and teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, the Blaugrana dispatched Dortmund in the quarters and now host Inter in the first leg on home turf.
Inter, meanwhile, are aiming to make back-to-back finals after reaching the showpiece event in 2023. Simone Inzaghi’s side edged out Bayern Munich in the quarters and boast the tournament’s best defensive record, conceding just three goals across ten matches. With Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram in fine form, the Nerazzurri are built to frustrate and strike on the counter.
The Road to Munich
Both second legs will be played on 8 May, with the winners meeting in the Champions League final on June 1 at Munich’s Allianz Arena. Each club brings unique strengths—Arsenal’s balance, Barcelona’s flair, Inter’s resilience, and Paris’ firepower—making this season’s semi-finals among the most compelling in recent memory.
