Four teams remain in the UEFA Champions League of this season, because the semi -final starts at the end of April. Arsenal Paris Saint-Germain will be confronted while the two parties are looking for their very first UCL title, while Inter and Barcelona meet in a struggle of continental heavyweights.

Now there are 180 minutes left, and perhaps more, until we find out who will meet in the UEFA Champions League final of 2025 in the Allianz Arena in Munich on 31 May. Before we arrive there, let’s rank the potential definitive combinations now has closed the Semis.

Don’t miss any of the Champions League. As always you can catch all our coverage Paramount+” CBS Sports Network And CBS Sports Golazo Network all season.

4. PSG vs. Intercourse

This is still pretty good. Being the “worst” potential final is not the way to think about it – it’s more like the least great, but it is still pretty great. You would like to have a PSG team to complete their project, as Manchester City did a few seasons ago, while Inter were also finalists and consistent two seasons ago, so that super smart movements were on the road, such as Marcus Thuram and Yann Sommer.

PSG has improved more than every team of the last, say, eight months, what many thought, including me, was the status of pretender to the competition. It was always difficult to imagine that they got better after losing Kylian Mbappe, but that’s what happened. Khvicha kvaratskhelia has arrived and shows off his magic, Joao Neves is one of the more underrated midfielders in the world, Ousmane Dembele has realized his potential and Bradley Barcola has written future superstar about him. That is not even to name the other incredible pieces they already have. This would have potential for many flair and goals, and I am completely for it.

3. PSG vs. Barca

So many storylines here. Dembele used to play for Barcelona, ​​ASND PSG coach Luis Enrique led the classic Neymar, Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi Barca side. Hansi Flick, the manager of Barca, was the Bayern boss when they defeated PSG in the final during Covid. They have each grilles that are absolutely loaded, and it would have a lot of potential for a 4-3 final because the defenses are not the sharpest.

This would be a fantastic showcase of the world’s best young talents led by Barca Wonderkid Lamine Yamal, who this season has 14 goals and 17 assists in all competitions, because he would like to close his euro glory last summer with Barca back to the top of European football – a place where they have been in a decade.

2. Arsenal versus Inter

This is just a special matchup between two solid clubs that have dreamed of European glory. Inter has done it three times before, but because the game has changed over the years with the money in England and the power of Barcelona and Real Madrid, many have wondered if, not when, an Italian team could reach the top again. If a team is possible, it is this dynamic, disciplined interkant. They went to the final and would like to learn from their mistakes from a year ago, while Arsenal would get a dream run to the final that few saw after all the injuries.

Of Bukayo fromDeclan Rice and Martin Odegaard If we take on players such as Alessandro Bastoni, Nicolo Barella and more, this has written this tactical chess match everywhere, but with the speed and technical opportunity to produce some sensational moments.

1. Barcelona vs. Arsenal

How can this not be number one? It has been almost 20 years since that night in the Stade de France when Arsenal was confronted with Barcelona in the 2006 final. Sol Campbell’s Goal In the 37th minute, Arsenal made it believe, even with the red card by Jens Lehmann in the 18th minute. But a goal from Samuel Eto’o in the 76th minute and Juliano Belletti four minutes later, Barca gave only their second UCL -Kroon and their first since 1992. Both teams had hoped to return to this stage, but they did it faster than the most thought. There was a while not so long ago when the financial issues of Barca seemed destined to limit their assets on the European stage, while Arsenal just tried to go under Arteta. But both have shown since the start of the season that it is potential, where Barca can blow teams left and right and the gunners are able to keep Real Madrid for almost nothing for 180 minutes.

There is no doubt that the night the supporters of Arsenal wonders what it could have been if it had not been for that red card. This is the chance of redemption, against an insignia that only brings back bad memories. It is an opportunity to write their own history against a team that, although he has some experienced presence, still has many young players who have not been in this situation either.

Imagine that 90 minutes of Saka, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal walk along the wings. An end-to-end game between the two would be absolute football sky.
