Four teams are left in the Champions League, with two looking to punch their tickets to Munich for the final showdown.
The UEFA Champions League has reached its final four teams. Arsenal will face Paris Saint-Germain at the Emirates Stadium, returning to the semifinals for the first time in nearly 20 years. Meanwhile, Barcelona will host Inter Milan in the other semifinal first leg. Both matchups are crucial as these teams look to book their spots in the May 31 final in Munich.
Key player to watch is Declan Rice, expected to play a deeper midfield role to counter PSG’s technical play. The man of the match candidate is PSG’s goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who has been vital with multiple crucial saves recently. The experts' best bet is that both teams will score, given the attacking talents on both sides. Despite a previous convincing win by Arsenal over PSG in the league phase, PSG’s evolution makes them favorites to win this tie.
Barcelona's Pedri is highlighted as a critical player who can unlock Inter’s defensive setup with clever passing and ball movement. Lamine Yamal, the young Spanish winger, is the man of the match favorite for his brilliant performances throughout the season, including key moments in the Copa del Rey final. The best betting option is on Dani Olmo to have multiple shots on target given Inter's defensive vulnerabilities. Barcelona remains strong favorites despite missing Lewandowski.
The semifinals first legs are scheduled over two days with various coverage options available. Matches will be aired on CBS, Paramount+, and the CBS Sports Golazo Network with additional star cams and pre- and post-match shows. Arsenal vs. PSG will play on Tuesday, April 29, and Barcelona vs. Inter on Wednesday, April 30, with detailed timing provided in U.S. Eastern Time.
