Champions League semi -finals

Inter vs. Barcelona

Man of the match: Lamine Yamal, Barcelona – If we have learned something from the first game in Spain, we must consider the Spanish wonder kid as one of the biggest, best and most unpredictable players around the world. Yamal has proven that he is already a competition for the Ballon d’Or from 2025, but much will also depend on his performance in Milan on Tuesday. Can he make it? I say yes. – Francesco Porzio

Best bet: Barcelona to Win (+120) – – While Lautaro Martinez could return for Inter, Barcelona has its own addition of their own addition to Robert Lewandowski, which is included in the traveling team. The defense still has questions to answer in the second stage, but when the operating method of Barcelona has been to beat their opposition, it is difficult to see Inter doing enough to put a driven Barcelona attack in a win or go home. – Chuck Booth

Prediction: Inter 1, Barcelona 2 – Inter can have Marcus Thuram back, but without a fully fit Lautaro Martinez they are their chances of taking this draw. Moreover, there is the extra disadvantage of playing against a Barcelona led by Lamine Yamal, who seem to be unstoppable with or without Robert Lewandowski. – PARDEEP CATRY

PSG vs. Arsenal

Man of the match: Lamine Yamal – Gianluigi Donnarumma, PSG – The Italian keeper is so far incredible this season in the UEFA Champions League, because his versions were crucial for the team coached by Luis Enrique to reach the semi -final. His rescues against Liverpool, Aston Villa and also against Arsenal in the first stage were phenomenal and the French giants need the best version of Donnarumma to reach their second Champions League final. – Francesco Porzio

Best bet: Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia each to have 1+ shots on goal (-134)– Come inside with a slight lead of the first stage, PSG may not have to win this competition, but scoring an early goal will go a long way to avert a driven arsenal. If PSG finds the back of the net, it is likely that Dembele and Kvaratskhelia will be involved, so it is very logical to assemble their shots for a reasonable line in their home stadium. – Chuck Booth

Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 2, Arsenal 1- Arsenal had their moments in the first stage and proved that it is unlikely that they will leave Paris without a fight, but there is a reason why this is PSG’s game to lose. They not only have a press that makes them remarkably difficult to beat, that press is the basis with which Dembele and Kvaratskhelia can be the attacking threats they are. Expect that they can be seen for the home fans before booking a trip to their first Champions League final in five years. – PARDEEP CATRY
