Champions League Semi Final Predictions: 2nd Leg

TUESDAY:

INTER MILAN V BARCELONA

These two played out an absolute classic in the first leg and there is a good feeling hat this one will be the same.

Inter Milan should be disappointed that they don't have the advantage in tie and especially as they went ahead twice in the first leg.

They must've known that Barca are vulnerable defensively as they will have watched videos of them in the lead up to the game. But they didn't make the most of the opportunity in front of them by not threatening their goal as much as they should've done.

Barcelona should have Robert Lewandowski back for this one after missing the first leg through injury and will be a massive boost for Barca.

Hansi Flick's side will be hoping for another Lamine Yamal masterclass in this leg after the performance he put in during the first leg, where he was at the heart of pretty much everything Barca did.

Barca will expect a tough game in this leg as Inter are bound to give them a tough game as they're the home team.

But if one player can step up to the challenge, it's Yamal because he doesn't let anything phase him whatever stage he is on. He's the best player of his age that I have ever seen.

But I think Inter will snuff him out here as I think they'll be back on their game defensively due to them being at home for this leg.

Both teams will score in this tie, but I think Inter will just edge not just because they're at home, but because of how vulnerable Barca are defensively.

PREDICTION: 2-1

WEDNESDAY:

PSG V ARSENAL

PSG were the team in control for much of the first leg, and they'll no doubt feel that they should be ahead by a lot more as they had a good number of chances to build on their lead.

Luis Enrique's side have been known for blowing first leg leads in the past and there is a chance that they could do so again here as their team is young.

But I don't see that happening here as they're at home where they'll have the home crowd behind them, and are more together as a group than they were in the past.

I was surprised that Arsenal played all their big hitters against Bournemouth at the weekend as I was expecting them to rest them ahead of this tie.

They let themselves down in the final third against Bournemouth by not taking the shot whenever they got into a good position to shoot.

A lack of killer instinct has cost them many times this season and they'll need it more than ever in this one as they're behind in the tie.

But I don't see them showing it as I think PSG will dominate the game and barely give them a sniff in front of goal. Especially as they're at home where they'll have the fans behind them, like I mentioned before.

PREDICTION: 2-0
