It's Montjuic brah.
The closest we've come to a Tifo at the Montjuic is when a old married Catalan couple lifted up their Barca scarves together.

I’m pretty sure you forgot the tifo against Real Madrid in October 2023.
I remember that game for the worst reasons, we gave them too much respect in the 2nd half and we paid the price then

Are we semifinal match pair 1 or semifinal match pair 2?
SF1 hosts the final as a home team.
I am not jumping to conclusions but it interests me from "home/away jersey" point of view

Hansi Flick pre-match press conference:
Hansi Flick: "When you win a final against Real Madrid... it was very special. Now we're focused on reaching the Champions League final. The most important one. It's a dream."
Hansi Flick: "Szczesny will play in the Champions League. We'll see about the league."
Hansi Flick: "Today isn't the day to talk about the starting lineup because there's still one more day. When you look at the Inter team that played on Sunday... they've had less rest, but it's a Champions League semi-final, and everyone will give 100%."
Hansi Flick: "Inter have one of the best defenses in Europe. They have a good midfield and their forwards are very strong. It will be difficult, but we're ready."
Hansi Flick: "I see how important this semi-final will be for everyone. The win against Madrid is good for us because we're in a good moment. It could give us a boost."
Hansi Flick: "Inter lost 3 times? The Champions League is different. We're all two games away from the final. Past matches don't matter."
Hansi Flick: "I think I'll coach the team next season. I've already said I'm happy here, but there's no time to talk about that now. What we're about to achieve is much more important."
Hansi Flick: "What I tell the kids is that the important thing is to always give 100%. Have a good mentality and play at the highest level."
Hansi Flick: "Fermín is always an option for the starting lineup, but on Saturday we opted for another option. When he came on, he did brilliantly. He's doing well, he's playing at a high level."
Hansi Flick: "It wasn't just Jules scoring the goal. It was also how he defended, how he stopped Real Madrid. It was beautiful to watch. I crossed my fingers when I saw he was going to shoot."

Lamine:
This is my first semi-final, and so is the first for many of my teammates. We have a great desire to qualify for the final, and we obviously want to show the Barcelona fans what we're capable of, and we'll give everything we have to achieve that."
"My Insta stories? I do this to make the time pass faster until match day entertain myself a little, but really, right now, things are going well for me, but I don't know, I guess I'm doing it because I'm bored at home, that's all."
"I think everyone knows that Inter has a strong defene. They also counter attack. They're a very strong team and they've shown that in every edition of the Champions League."
"Fear? I left fear in Mataró (his hometown) a long time ago."
"I don’t compare myself with anyone, same with Messi. I admire Leo, he’s the best in history. I just focus on improving, comparing myself with other players doesn’t make any sense."
"Íñigo and Frenkie are incredible. Everyone talks about me, Rapha, and Pedri... maybe they don’t get as much recognition as others, but they’re really important."
"I don't feel pressure, I just feel like I have to enjoy the moment and give it my all, and that's it."
"As long as I'm winning, they can't say anything to me. When they beat me, they can."
“Comparisons with Messi? I don’t compare myself with anyone, same with Messi… I admire Leo, he’s the best in history”. “I just focus on improving, comparing myself with other players doesn’t make any sense. I have never spoken to Messi.”

Flick:
"We're focused on the first match, which is the first step we need to take. Inter is a very difficult opponent. I think their defense is among the best in Europe."
"When you win a final against Real Madrid, there's naturally a special story to the match, and the emotions at the end were very strong. We have to be fully focused, and the team is in good shape. Training was good, and I saw that everyone is focused today."
"We had a meeting where we analysed the opponent and what we had to do, and we also talked about the lessons we had to learn from our last match against Real Madrid, and what we had to improve on."
"Rotations? We'll see tomorrow. Today is not the right day to talk about the starting lineup, because we have another day ahead of us, and tomorrow we'll see what happens, how the players recover, and whether the situation improves a little."
"Despite anything, Fermin is always an option. We decided differently on Saturday, but he did a good job. He's always in the right position, ready to play. He's in very good shape."
"My players know what we're playing for. Beating Madrid is very important from a morale standpoint. It can push us forward. It's the key. An extra push. We can reach the final. For some players, this could be their last chance to reach the final."
"Tek will play in the Champions League. We might make some rotations in La Liga but that's for another day."
"Jules is a very professional player. For me, it's not just because he scored the goal, but also because of the way he defended. For me, he's playing at a very high level, and that's very important for us."
"As I said before, I am very happy to be here, to work here, with the club, with the players, with the staff around us, and I love staying here at Barcelona."

Flick tried out the same starting XI today during training as in La Cartuja, against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final.

So it's Martin vs. Dumbfries.

Probably. I understand him though, the team is used to each other, won a big final a few days ago. So why change a winning system. When Martin gets tired, it'll be Araujo and Inigo LB again in the second half.
