The Argentine striker, who was on the verge of joining the Catalan giants in 2020, has since become Inter's captain and a prolific scorer, netting over 150 goals for the club. 

His recent goal against Bayern Munich not only secured Inter's spot in the semi-finals but also elevated him to the club's sixth all-time top scorer and the leading foreign goal-scorer in their history.​

Barcelona, fresh off a Copa del Rey victory over Real Madrid, faces a daunting challenge. Despite their recent success, the absence of key players like Marc-André ter Stegen and Robert Lewandowski could tilt the balance. Inter, though struggling domestically with three consecutive losses, remains a significant threat, especially with Martínez's current form.​

This clash not only revives memories of their 2010 semi-final encounter, where Inter triumphed, but also underscores the irony of Barcelona's missed opportunity to sign Martínez. Now, as he leads Inter against his almost-former club, the stage is set for a dramatic showdown.​
