Barcelona’s route to European gold is clearer after the dates for their UEFA Champions League semi-final versus Inter Milan were announced.
Hansi Flick’s team will play the first leg at Montjuïc’s Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on April 30, followed by the decisive return leg at San Siro on May 6.
The Catalan defeated Borussia Dortmund to reach the Final Four, while Inter beat Atletico Madrid in a thrilling quarterfinal clash. Barcelona is still competing in La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League, and the Inter fixtures added to their busy and high-stakes schedule.
Flick must rely on team depth and wise rotation to retain momentum in important domestic matches and a Cup final.
Two matches against strong rivals Real Madrid, a cup win, and a Champions League final appearance await. Due to exhaustion and injury danger, handling this stretch might define Barcelona’s season and possibly establish a new golden age under Flick.
Here’s a look at Barcelona’s packed upcoming schedule:
- April 19: Barcelona vs Celta Vigo – La Liga
- April 22: Real Mallorca vs Barcelona – La Liga
- April 26: Barcelona vs Real Madrid – Copa del Rey Final
- April 30: Barcelona vs Inter – Champions League Semi-Final (First Leg)
- May 3: Real Valladolid vs Barcelona – La Liga
- May 6: Inter vs Barcelona – Champions League Semi-Final (Second Leg)
