Inter Milan looking to power back up against Barcelona in Champions League semi-final

Power had almost fully returned to Spain early Tuesday morning and Inter’s charter flight took off as scheduled for Barcelona at around 5 p.m. local time ahead of the first leg of their semi-final on Wednesday.

Strange things happen when Inter Milan plays Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals.

The last time the two teams met in the final four of Europe’s elite club competition, in 2010, Barcelona had to make a 15-hour journey by bus to Milan after an ash cloud caused by the eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull shut down airspace.
