There is no place to hide for the remaining four teams hoping to play in the final of this season’s Champions League.
The second leg of their semifinal clash takes place this week, with all four teams knowing they are in the last chance saloon.
The first leg did deliver, but the two games are still finely poised, with all teams in with a chance of progressing to the final in Munich. With that said, let’s take a look at the two matches.
Inter Milan vs Barcelona
These two sides played a thriller in the first leg and will hope to run it back at San Siro on Tuesday.
Inter looked to be running away with the win after taking a 2-0 lead in the opening 30 minutes of the game, courtesy of goals from Marcuss Thuram and Denzel Dumfries.
However, Barcelona stormed back to restore parity, thanks to Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres’ goals.
Inter did retake the lead in the second half through Dumfries, but Raphinha’s stunning strike ensured that Barcelona would go into the second leg with a chance.
On the balance of play, Barcelona will feel confident in their chances as they should have won the first leg. They were the better team and created a lot of goalscoring chances.
However, Inter will also believe that they can progress. The Nerazzurri will feel that despite Barca’s dominance in the first leg, there was no moment in the game that felt like they would lose the game.
Also, with the home crowd behind them, Inter will definitely fancy their chances. Both teams come into the game with wins in their respective league games.
Barca stayed top of LaLiga after coming from a goal down to beat Real Valladolid, while Inter remain three points behind Napoli after beating Hellas Verona.
While Barcelona possess an attacking threat that can hurt the Italian side, they have found Inter a tough nut to crack away from home.
The Catalan giants have won just one of their last six away games against Inter. They have also won just five matches in 24 away games in Italy.
This should give Inter confidence going into the game. Simone Inzaghi’s men have a formidable home record, with the Nerazzurri currently unbeaten in 15 home games in the Champions League.
The bad news for Inter, however, is that they are likely to be without their captain Lautaro Martinez, who picked up an injury in last week’s first leg.
Meanwhile, Barcelona will have Robert Lewandowski after the Polish striker recovered from an injury that kept him out of last week’s first leg.
Despite playing away from home, Barca are the favourites, with Flick’s men priced at 2.24 to win the game. Meanwhile, Inter are backed at 2.90 home win, while a draw is priced at 3.85.
In terms of qualification, Barcelona are also the favourites to progress at 1.69 while Inter are given odds of 2.13 to reach the final.
PSG vs Arsenal
The second semifinal will see Paris Saint-Germain take on Arsenal at Parc des Princes. PSG come into the game, holding a 1-0 advantage.
Luis Enrique’s men have a slender lead after beating Arsenal at the Emirates, courtesy of Ousmane Dembele’s early strike.
Despite Arsenal’s best effort to find an equaliser, PSG held on for a win. The French champions now know that as long as they avoid a defeat at home, they will be playing in their second Champions League final in five years.
In fairness, this game is PSG’s to lose because they have all the advantage. Not only do they have a 1-0 first-leg lead, but they are also fresher, having won the Ligue 1 title.
Enrique had the luxury of resting almost all of his best players against Strasbourg in their Ligue 1 clash last weekend.
This is not something we can say for Arsenal. Mikel Arteta fielded most of his top stars against Bournemouth on Saturday. Arteta had the chance to rest some of his top stars, though, as they were already out of the title race after Liverpool’s win.
However, the Spaniard stuck with most of his top guys for the game. It did backfire, though, as Arsenal suffered a 2-1 home defeat.
The result has now increased the pressure on Arsenal, knowing failure to progress on Wednesday night will see them end a season that started with so much promise on a trophyless note.
It’s basically all or nothing for the Gunners on Wednesday night. Arteta’s men have already been handed a boost by the return of Thomas Partey, who missed last week’s game due to suspension.
As for PSG, they are sweating on the fitness of Dembele, who went off in the first leg with a suspected leg injury.
If Dembele misses the game, it will be a big blow for Enrique’s men as he has been their best player this season.
Nonetheless, PSG are the favourites for this one, with the Parisians priced at 2.04 to get the win. Meanwhile, you can back Arsenal at 3.40.
PSG are the massive favourites to progress at 1.19, while the Gunners have been given odds of 4.50 to qualify.
