Is AC Milan vs Inter Milan on UK TV? How to watch UEFA Champions League semi-final: dates, KO time, live stream details

Following a dramatic night in Spain’s capital, the Champions League now moves onto the next European city with the two Milan clubs ready to face off in front of what is sure to be an electric crowd. After an early lead, Real Madrid were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu and will now prepare to take on Manchester City at the Etihad next week.

The winner of that will take on either AC Milan or Inter Milan in just a few weeks time. The last time the two sides met in a Champions League match was an exceptionally electric night in Milan back in 2005. The image of Rui Costa and Marco Materazzi in front of red flames will live on in the minds of fans with the match eventually being abandoned after 73 minutes following flares and other objects raining down onto the pitch.

As players prepare for their first meet in the UCL since that fateful night, here is all you need to know about how to watch the action...

Team news

Olivier Giroud, Theo Hernandez and Sandro Tonali all returned to the side for Milan’s 2-0 win over Lazio at the weekend. It remains to be seen whether Rafael Leao will be fit enough for the Milan derby as he was forced off due to muscular injury against Lazio with Alexis Saelemaekers coming on in his place. The Rossoneri are also set to be without Tommaso Pobega and Zlatan Ibrahimovic through injury (although the Swedish star is not registered for Champions League in any case.)

Inter took on Roma on Saturday without Lautaro Martinez, Edin Dzeko and Henrikh Mkhitaryan but all three are expected to return to the starting line-up for tonight’s fixture. However, Romelu Lukaku will hope to secure his spot back in the starting line-up after enjoying a recent revival. Both Milan Skriniar and Robin Gosens will miss out through injury but Danilo D’Ambrasio could return following a recent muscular problem.
