  May 11, 2025 FC Barcelona - Real Madrid  CF Spotify Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain On Sunday, May 11, 2025, another chapter of the world's most famous football rivalry will take place in Spanish LaLiga. FC Barcelona will welcome Real Madrid to Camp Nou, with both teams having much to play for in this El Clásico. Barcelona have won their last three matches against Real Madrid in all competitions. Only once in the entire history of El Clásico, between 2008 and 2010 under Josep Guardiola (five), have the Blaugrana managed to win 4 or more consecutive matches. The Catalan side thus has a chance to join Guardiola's legendary team. However, Real Madrid have won four of their last five away matches against FC Barcelona in all competitions (1 loss), achieving the same number of victories as in their previous 19 visits to Barcelona (4 wins, 7 draws, 8 losses). Los Blancos have thus significantly improved their record at their arch-rival's ground. Barcelona have won all three of...

  May 6, 2025 Giuseppe Meazza, Milan, Italy The legendary Giuseppe Meazza stadium in Milan is preparing for a magnificent football evening. On Tuesday, May 6, 2025, Inter Milan will welcome FC Barcelona on their home ground in the second leg of the Champions League semifinal. After a dramatic first match that ended in a 3-3 draw, progression to the final remains wide open, and both European giants have a chance to reach the coveted final in London. Inter Milan enters the second leg with a fresh dose of confidence. After an uncomfortable series of five matches without a win, Simone Inzaghi's team managed to defeat Verona 1-0 over the weekend, keeping them in the race for the Italian title, though they still trail league leaders Napoli by three points. The win wasn't spectacular – decided by a penalty in the ninth minute – but it represents an important mental boost for the team. In the first semifinal match at Camp Nou, Inter twice held the lead (2-0 and 3-2), but ultimatel...

  April 30, 2025 Barcelona - Internazionale Barcelona and Inter Milan will meet in the Champions League semi-finals, 15 years after their last knockout encounter. The Spanish side will welcome the Italian giants in a match that promises to showcase the offensive style of Hansi Flick against the defensive stability of Simone Inzaghi. Barcelona and Internazionale have faced each other on 16 previous occasions in European competitions, with the Spanish side winning exactly half of those encounters (8 wins, 5 draws, 3 losses). However, they remain winless in the most recent two meetings, which came in the group stages of the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League (0-1 away, 3-3 at home). This will be just the second time Barcelona and Internazionale have met in the knockout stages of the European Cup/UEFA Champions League, with both coming precisely at the semi-final stage. The previous one – played in 2009-10 – saw José Mourinho's Inter eliminate the reigning champions 3-2 on aggregate (3...

  April 19, 2025 FC Barelona - RC Celta de Vigo The historic Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys will host a fascinating LaLiga encounter this Saturday as FC Barcelona welcome RC Celta de Vigo in a fixture that has produced its fair share of surprises in recent years. Barcelona enter the match in imperious form, unbeaten in their last 12 LaLiga matches with 10 wins and 2 draws. The Catalan giants are one of only three teams across Europe's top five leagues to remain undefeated in 2025, alongside Paris Saint-Germain and Roma. This remarkable run has positioned them firmly in the title race as the season enters its critical final stretch. Despite their current momentum, Barcelona will be wary of a Celta side that has proven to be something of a thorn in their side over recent seasons. Since 2017-18, the Galician outfit has collected points in eight of their 15 meetings with the Blaugrana in LaLiga (3 wins, 5 draws, 7 losses). Only Real Madrid has managed to take points off Barcelona mo...
