Picture from UEFA
The quarter-final second legs, finalized on April 15–16, 2025, delivered drama and clarity on the semi-finalists.
Despite a 3-1 loss in the second leg at Signal Iduna Park on April 15, Barcelona advanced comfortably, leaning on their 4-0 first-leg rout. Robert Lewandowski’s brace and Raphinha’s flair in the opener proved insurmountable, even as Dortmund fought back with goals from Jamie Gittens and Serhou Guirassy.
PSG secured their semi-final spot with a 2-1 second-leg defeat at Villa Park on April 15, holding a 5-4 aggregate edge. Ousmane Dembélé’s first-half brilliance earned Player of the Match honors, though Villa’s Marcus Rashford tested PSG’s resolve. The 3-1 first-leg lead, driven by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Nuno Mendes, was key.
Arsenal clinched a semi-final berth with a 1-2 second-leg loss at the Santiago Bernabéu on April 16, protecting their 3-0 first-leg advantage. Declan Rice’s two free-kicks and Mikel Merino’s strike in London set the tone, while Real Madrid’s late push, led by Vinícius Júnior, fell short. Arsenal’s defensive solidity under Mikel Arteta sealed the upset.
Inter Milan edged Bayern Munich with a 1-1 second-leg draw at the San Siro on April 16, advancing on a 3-2 aggregate. Lautaro Martínez’s first-leg trivela and Davide Frattesi’s late winner in Munich proved decisive. Bayern’s Harry Kane scored in the return leg, but Inter’s disciplined 3-5-2 system held firm.
These results confirm Barcelona vs. Inter Milan and PSG vs. Arsenal as the semi-final matchups, with the draw communicated on April 17, 2025.

The semi-final ties promise tactical battles and star power. Based on current form, player performances, and expert analysis, here’s a look at what to expect:
Hansi Flick’s side, unbeaten in 10 Champions League games, boasts the competition’s top scorer, Raphinha (11 goals), and a lethal attack with Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal. Their 20% title odds, per Opta, make them favorites.
Simone Inzaghi’s 3-5-2 system, anchored by Stefan de Vrij and Federico Dimarco, has conceded just one goal in eight league-phase matches. Their upset over Bayern shows resilience, but scoring against Barcelona’s defense will be tough.
I’m backing Arsenal to edge this thriller. Their defensive resilience and Saka’s return give them a slight advantage in a tie that promises goals. PSG will push hard, but Arsenal’s composure could prevail. Specific Scores may be:
First Leg (Emirates): Arsenal 2-1 PSG
Second Leg (Parc des Princes): PSG 1-1 Arsenal
Aggregate: Arsenal 3-2 PSG
Fresh off a Ligue 1 title and a 6-game win streak, PSG’s attacking trio of Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia, and Désiré Doué is clicking. Vitinha’s midfield control adds balance, but their defense faces a stern test.
Arsenal’s 0.79 non-penalty expected goals against per 90, third-best in Europe’s top leagues, underlines their defensive strength. Declan Rice’s versatility and Bukayo Saka’s flair make them dangerous, but injuries to Gabriel Magalhães and others are concerns.
This one’s a nail-biter, but I’m leaning toward an upset. Inter’s tactical discipline and home strength could just stifle Barcelona’s flair. It’ll be tight, but the Nerazzurri might nick it. Specific Scores may be:
First Leg (San Siro): Inter Milan 2-1 Barcelona
Second Leg (Camp Nou): Barcelona 1-1 Inter Milan
Aggregate: Inter Milan 3-2 Barcelona
While Barcelona and Arsenal appear favored, Inter’s tactical discipline and PSG’s attacking firepower ensure no outcome is certain. The first legs on April 29–30 will set the tone.
Stadium capacities (e.g., Camp Nou 99,000; Emirates 60,000) mean each club and UEFA receive a finite number of tickets, far below global demand.
Members, season-ticket holders, and corporate partners enjoy exclusive early sales. By the time general sales open, many tickets are already claimed.
In 2024, both semi-final ties saw initial allocations claimed in under 10 minutes via official club and UEFA platforms. Secondary-market listings on sites like SeatPick averaged prices of $290, with premium seats exceeding $500.
Anti-bot measures—CAPTCHAs, rate-limits, session timeouts—are deployed to prevent automated scalping. While well-intentioned, they also challenge genuine fans.
Proxies—servers that mask a user’s real address—offer decisive advantages for ticket‑grab campaigns:
Global Streaming Access: Fans in regions without broadcast rights can use proxies to access platforms like TNT Sports (UK) or Paramount+ (US), streaming semi-finals live. For example, a UK proxy unlocks the Arsenal-PSG tie on Discovery+.
Enhanced Privacy: Proxies shield personal and payment data during ticket purchases or streaming, critical on high-traffic sites prone to phishing risks.
Anti-Scalping Advantage: By mimicking local traffic, proxies help fans compete with automated scalper bots, leveling the playing field.
Recent data shows a 50% surge in proxy usage during major tournaments, with Champions League ticket searches and streaming queries spiking as fans seek seamless access
Real-World Tip: Last year, fans in India used UK proxies to stream PSG’s semis on Discovery+ without blackouts.
