The first leg of this tie ended in a 3-3 draw after 90 minutes of high-intensity football that was filled with twists and turns. The performances of the two teams and the aggregate score make the upcoming second tie even more exciting.
Gianni Infantino picks his side

Talking about this upcoming game, the head of FIFA made it quite clear where his sympathies would lie on Tuesday as he said with a smile: “Everyone knows I’m an Inter fan.”
The Swiss-Italian administrator has already publicly declared his admiration for the Nerazzurri several times in the past and once again will be supporting Inter Milan in this game.
A highly exciting game awaits
With notable individuals, now including Gianni Infantino, showing their admiration for one of the two contenders of this semi-final tie, the build-up to this game has been quite interesting. This makes the upcoming tie even more exciting, not only for the fans of the two sides but also for the neutrals.
Both teams were able to rest most of their starters and get wins in their last league games, and thus, one can hope they will be treated to a show on Tuesday, as both Barcelona and Inter Milan vie for a place in the final.
