The semifinals of the UEFA Champions League have arrived, with FC Barcelona and Inter Milan set to meet on Wednesday in the first leg of their matchup.

Fiorentina take on Real Betis on Thursday, May 8, at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence, with kickoff set for 9 p.m. CEST local time in Italy. That makes it an 8 p.m. BST start in the UK, a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT kickoff in the US and Canada, and a 5 a.m. AEST start in Australia on Friday morning.

On the other side, Chelsea has been picking up steam. With a 3-1 win over Liverpool last weekend, the Blues have gone unbeaten in six straight league matches, having won three contests in a row. In the tight race that both clubs are in, three points is almost a necessity to ensure they stay in the top five.

Newcastle and Chelsea are fourth and fifth in the Premier League, level on 63 points with three games to go. Sandro Tonali gave the hosts a second-minute lead.
