The difficulty of the Champions League semi-finals is different, Arsenal & Paris can be suspended for the Champions League, and Barcelona & Inter Milan are both competing for the title on three lines

2025 is a non-major year, which means that the 2025 Ballon d'Or will most likely come from the Champions League winners. The Champions League has reached the semi-finals of the season, among themArsenal vs Paris, Barcelona vs Inter MilanThe four teams will compete for two places in the finals, and during the Champions League semi-finals, the Champions League semi-finals will all face the difficulty of playing double matches in a week, but the task of the semi-finals this season is different.

Paris has already won the Ligue 1 title ahead of schedule, and during the Champions League semi-finals, it is entirely possible to choose Ligue 1 to rest for the Champions League. In addition to the Champions League, Paris also has to compete for the French Cup, but this has no impact on the Champions League race!

Arsenal has only one goal this season, that is, to win the Champions League and hit the first Big Ears Cup in team history. Arsenal is already as many as 13 points behind the leader Liverpool in the Premier League, but as many as 9 points ahead of sixth-place Chelsea.

Barcelona still has a very difficult task this season, facing a three-line championship, La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Champions League. La Liga has a four-point lead and is okay, but the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid is before the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan. Such a dense schedule will definitely distract Barcelona, Barcelona needs to fight Real Madrid to play Inter Milan, if they can't win the Nerazzurri at home, it will be difficult for Barcelona to qualify for the Champions League final, and the Barcelona players who are competing for the title in the third line need to grit their teeth.

Inter Milan's situation is similar to Barcelona's, and it is also a three-tier title contender, Serie A, Coppa Italia, and Champions League. Inter Milan lost 0-1 away to Bologna in the last round of Serie A, which allowed Napoli to tie Inter Milan in the Serie A standings, and the Serie A title race is also the most suspenseful of the five major leagues. Inter Milan will need to play AC Milan in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final (Inter Milan 1-1 away in the first leg) and Roma in Serie A before the first leg of the Champions League semi-final away to Barcelona.

Interestingly, the Champions League semi-finalsArsenal vs Paris, Barcelona vs Inter Milan, can take turns to rest the duel between Arsenal and Paris, and face the three-line battle between Barcelona and Inter Milan, so it's "fair", hahaha......
