Milan: The stage is set for an electrifying showdown as Inter and Barcelona clash in the decisive second leg of their Champions League semi-final tonight.
The first encounter was a thrilling spectacle, with both teams netting 3 goals each in a fierce exchange. Inter took the lead with a goal from Marcus Thuram and two from the standout Denzel Dumfries. Barcelona responded with strikes from Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal, while a misfortunate own goal from Sommer after a powerful shot by Raphinha added to the drama.
The availability of both teams' star forwards remains uncertain, with Robert Lewandowski returning from injury for Barcelona and Lautaro Martinez suffering a setback in the previous match.
Who will secure the coveted spot in Munich? Will it be the spirited Blaugrana or the strategic Nerazzurri playing on their home turf?
