They are Villareal-Liverpool and Real Madrid. Manchester City the two Champions League semi-finals. Two challenges between the Spanish and the English that will decide the finalists who will clash at the Stade de France in Paris on May 28th.

Everything is easy for Klopp's team which, thanks to the 3-1 outside the first leg against Benfica, practically never suffers in the home match: it goes 3-1 even at Anfield, then gets caught up 3-3 by Portuguese but the qualification was never at risk. English ahead with Konate, then Ramos equalized in the first half. In the second half the brace from Firmino before the equal of Benfica with goals from Yaremchuck and Nunez.

A tense match in Madrid ends with white goals, already anticipated by the controversy of Simeone against Guardiola. The City passes thanks to the 1-0 victory in the first leg match, but it is a very high-tension final at the Wanda Metropolitano. An expulsion for the colchoneros, brawl on the pitch in the last minutes that bring the match beyond the 100th. And tension that is also sliced in the locker rooms, where the police intervened to calm the minds. At the end of the round deserved passage for the Citizens, and it will be a great challenge for Guardiola against Ancelotti in the semifinals.
