After a captivating first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, the stage is set for a thrilling conclusion before the road leads to Munich for the grand finale. The mid-week clashes delivered a whirlwind of emotions — Barcelona played out a dramatic 3-3 draw against Inter, while Arsenal fell short at home, losing to a charismatic PSG side. With the second legs approaching, football fans across India are eagerly tuning in to Sony Sports Network to witness how the drama unfolds.
The week kicks off with Barcelona facing Inter Milan on March 7, 2025, at 12:30 AM IST, at the iconic San Siro. Inter’s passionate home support will look to rattle the Catalan giants in what promises to be a fierce encounter. On paper, a 3-3 draw in Barcelona seems like a great result for Inter. However, considering they raced to a 2-0 lead (with a goal inside the first 30 seconds), both teams walked away with a sense of unfinished business. The Nerazzurri now have the advantage of playing at home, but they’ll need to push forward — a strategy that could expose vulnerabilities at the back. This was evident in the first leg, where Barcelona mounted a comeback from 2-0 down to level the match. For Barcelona, playing with their signature flair is key, but so is solving the challenge posed by Inter’s aerial threat — something that clearly troubled them in the opening leg.
The second semi-final clash between Arsenal and PSG is equally finely poised, with the French side holding a slender advantage. Ousmane Dembélé’s early strike in London — his eighth goal in nine Champions League games since the start of 2025 — has put Paris within touching distance of only their second-ever final. However, Dembélé might miss the return leg due to injury, adding uncertainty to PSG’s campaign. Despite the lead, the French champions cannot afford to be complacent. Arsenal, known for their unpredictability and history of pulling off upsets in big games, could level the tie early and shift momentum.
What favours PSG is history: they have won 18 of the 19 UEFA ties in which they secured a first leg away victory. The only exception? A memorable 2018/19 defeat to Manchester United, when they lost on away goals after a 2-0 win in the first leg and a 3-1 loss at home.
Now, it all comes down to D-Day — where the stakes are sky-high, the margins razor-thin, and anything can happen.
