How to watch Barcelona vs Inter on TV tonight
The most prolific attack and the meanest defence in the UCL face off tonight, as Barcelona host Inter at Montjuïc in their Champions League semi-final first leg.
These teams are the polar opposites of each other, so we're expecting a fascinating clash of styles. Whereas Barcelona play an extremely high-risk brand of football, banking on scoring a goal more than they concede, with Inter it's safety first.
With Robert Lewandowski still injured, Ferran Torres spearheads a three-man attack, with Pedri and Dani Olmo sharing No.10 duties. Marcus Thuram is fit enough to start for Inter, but Benjamin Pavard is out of action.

It would be fitting for an Italian team to pick the key to Hansi Flick's gameplan. Barca have conceded 17 goals in the Champions League this season – for context Inter have allowed just five – but they've lost just seven of 53 games across all competitions. Raphinha and Lamine Yamal have formed an almighty double-act, but Torres is no Lewandowski.
Lautaro Martinez doesn't get many chances, but he's been clinical in Europe, scoring in each of his past five Champions League appearances. Simone Inzaghi won't be taking any unnecessary risks.
You can watch Barcelona vs Inter for free here on RTE Player and Belgium's RTL.
