Inter Milan can rely on unparalleled loyalty from Nerazzurri supporters for the return leg of their Champions League semi-final tie against Barcelona.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Italian champions could break the European gate receipt record.

Despite Inter’s downturn in recent weeks, there’s still great optimism ahead of this mouth-watering showdown.

Indeed, Simone Inzaghi will lead the expedition to Catalonia as Barcelona host the first leg at their temporary home venue.

Given Barca’s form, Inter’s best hope of reaching the final is to limit the damage on hostile turf.

Demand for tickets to next week’s Champions League return leg between Inter and Barcelona is sky-high.

With over 70,000 fans queuing online, Inter can expect to sell out the San Siro again.

Furthermore, a ‘full house’ is already a certainty.

The match could set a new record for the highest gate receipt in Italian football history.

Indeed, it should surpass the €12.5 million mark set during the 2023 Champions League semi-final against AC Milan.
