FC Internazionale Milano took a significant step towards the UEFA Champions League final with a 4–3 victory over FC Barcelona in a pulsating semi-final first leg on Tuesday night.
The match, played on 6 May 2025, produced seven goals and constant momentum swings as two of Europe’s most storied clubs traded blows in a wide-open contest. Inter ultimately made home advantage count, but Barcelona’s three away goals keep the tie finely balanced ahead of the return meeting in Spain.
With no official breakdown of individual scorers, bookings or substitutions available, only the final scoreline is confirmed at this stage. What is clear is that Inter’s attacking approach paid off, as they managed to outscore a Barcelona side that also found repeated ways through the home defence.
The result leaves Inter with a narrow aggregate lead heading into the second leg, but the one-goal margin and high tally conceded mean the Italian side still have plenty of work to do. Barcelona, despite defeat, will draw confidence from having scored three times away from home and will know that a win by any margin in the return leg could yet send them to the final.
Both teams remain in contention for a place in Europe’s showpiece event, with the decisive second leg now set up as a must-watch encounter. Further details on goals, key incidents and player performances were not provided in the official match data.
