Barcelona have taken out the first part of a potential treble and now have Inter Milan in their sights in the UEFA Champions League semifinals.
Hansi Flick's side beat Real Madrid 3-2 after extra time in a dramatic Copa del Rey final on Saturday and have a four-point lead over their bitter rivals with five games remaining in La Liga's title race.
Inter are sure to provide a stern test, having dispatched Bayern Munich in the previous round. Simone Inzaghi's men were beaten finalists in 2023 and are in their own domestic battle for a league title, although a shock 1-0 home defeat to Roma on Sunday left them three points shy of Napoli at the Serie A summit.

Barcelona vs. Inter Milan lineups, starting 11, team news
Robert Lewandowski remains on the sidelines with a hamstring injury and the May 11 Clasico against Real Madrid remains the star striker's target. In his stead, Ferran Torres produced an impressive goal-scoring appearance in his absence in the Copa del Rey final, and will hope to reprise that starring role today.
Alejandro Balde is battling to return soon from his own hamstring problem, but Gerard Martin remains slotted in at left-back as cover for now. Marc Casado remains out with a knee problem and Marc Bernal is a long-term absentee.
