Strange things happen when Inter Milan plays Barcelona in the Champions League semifinals. 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 and lost that first leg 3-1.

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.
