It is a repeat of the 2009/2010 Champions League semi-final as the Spanish and Italians giant meet for the right to move on to the Allianz Arena
Barcelona will look to take another giant step towards winning a potential treble when they face Inter Milan in the Champions League quarter-final this week.
The LaLiga leaders beat bitter rivals Real Madrid at the weekend to claim the Copa del Rey trophy, but there is little time for celebrations as another huge encounter is on the horizon.
Hansi Flick’s side knocked out Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals, recording a comprehensive 4-0 win in the first leg before suffering defeat - their first across any competition in 2025 - in the return meeting but still progressed 5-3 on aggregate.
Standing in their way of a first Champions League final in a decade is an Inter side that knocked out Bayern Munich in the last round.
However, the Serie A giants have stumbled of late and head to Spain on the back of three successive defeats that has dented their own hopes of winning a potential treble.
Barcelona vs Inter Milan is scheduled for a 8pm BST kick-off on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.
The first leg will take place at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium.
TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on TNT Sports.
Live stream: TNT Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Discovery+ app and website.

Robert Lewandowski is set to miss a third Barcelona game in a row with an injury sustained in the comeback win over Celta Vigo. Meanwhile, Alejandro Balde is facing a race against the clock to prove his fitness.
The left-back has been absent since limping off against Leganes with a hamstring issue and it remains to be seen if the Spaniard recovers in time.
Inter have suffered a massive blow after Benjamin Pavard had to be replaced in the 1-0 loss to Roma on Sunday. However, Simone Inzaghi is hopeful that Marcus Thuram will be available for selection after missing the last three games.

Having just come through 120 minutes against Real Madrid, in addition to the emotion that comes with an El Claciso showdown, you do have to wonder what shape some of the Barcelona players are in as many looked out on their feet during extra-time.
With that said, this appears to be the perfect time to play Inter. Flick’s side rarely fail to create chances and even without Lewandowski, it would be a surprise if they didn’t take a few against a team without a clean sheet in nine.
On the other hand, Barca offer up chances which means an entertaining clash is on the cards with the hosts coming out on top.
