A New Champion After Nine Years
28 April 2025
In the first season of the Champions League's new format, the number of title contenders has been reduced to four. Only five matches remain to determine the champion. With the semi-final matches between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona and Inter Milan, this season will see a team that has not won the trophy in the last nine years reach the pinnacle of European football. Among the four teams remaining in the semi-finals, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain have each reached the final once but have yet to secure a Champions League title. Bayern Munich last won the title in 2015, while Inter last claimed the trophy in 2010. Regardless of who emerges victorious, this season promises to be a memorable one, with no clear favourite emerging at this stage. With all four teams having similar chances of winning the title, we are in for five fantastic matches, with four semi-finals and one final. Tickets for the four semi-final matches, which will determine which teams will face off in the final at the Allianz Arena, are available on seatpin.
Arsenal – PSG
The first semi-final matches will be played on Tuesday, 29 April, with the return matches on Wednesday, 7 May. Both teams have never won the Champions League trophy before, and the winner will reach the final for the second time in their history. Paris Saint-Germain, who lost the only final in history played without spectators against Bayern Munich, has emerged as one of the favourites this season after winning the first leg at Anfield against Liverpool and eliminating them on penalties in the quarter-finals. Arsenal, meanwhile, scored seven goals against PSV in the round of 16 in Eindhoven and dominated last season's champions Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. Eliminating the Spanish giants, who have won six of the last 11 Champions League seasons, with a 3-0 win in London and a 2-1 victory in Madrid, has boosted the red-and-whites' confidence and strengthened their belief that they can achieve a historic first. Those who don't want to miss this incredible clash between two teams hungry for the trophy can secure tickets for both matches of this fantastic tie through seatpin.
Barcelona - Inter
Inter, who secured an advantage by defeating Bayern Munich, the hosts of the 2025 Champions League final, 2-1 away, managed to turn the tide and secure a spot in the semi-finals despite falling behind in the return leg. Barcelona, on the other hand, played an outstanding first leg against Dortmund but faltered slightly in the return leg. Inter will aim to replicate their performance at the Allianz Arena against Barcelona, while Barcelona, having learned from their Dortmund experience, may not settle for a draw against Inter. Barcelona, who hold a significant advantage in the La Liga title race, will face Inter in the semi-finals, with Inter seeking to reach the final for the first time since their defeat to Manchester City two seasons ago. For the blue-and-black-clad Napoli, who are in a neck-and-neck championship race with Napoli in Serie A, the Champions League is just as important as the domestic league. The match between two teams that have won this trophy multiple times before and are eager to lift it again promises some fantastic matches. For those who don't want to miss these matches, seatpin is once again the place to be.
Final on 31 May
The biggest match of the 2024-25 season will take place on the evening of 31 May at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. Regardless of which two teams make it to the final, the semi-final matches promise intense and unpredictable action. For those eager to experience the historic final's atmosphere and excitement firsthand, 2025 Champions League final match tickets will be available at the best prices through seatpin.
