On May 7, the UEFA Champions League semi-final featured a clash between Italian Inter and Spanish Barcelona. Inzaghi’s squad secured a thrilling 4-3 victory, earning their place in the final (7-6 on aggregate).
Hans-Dieter Flick’s team will play their next match on May 11 in the Spanish league—hosting Madrid’s Real, their main rival in the title race.
Spanish media reported that Los Blancos closely followed their opponent’s exit from European competition and believe Barcelona has “fallen into a deep psychological hole.”
“It will hurt them. This is our chance to get closer to winning the championship,” Madrid’s club is confident. If Real defeats their rival, they will close the gap to just one point behind Barcelona. After the “Barcelona – Real” clash, both teams will have three more matches remaining before the league concludes.
