The Champions League is screeching towards its conclusion in 2022 with the final teed up to be one of the biggest in recent years.
Manchester City fought their way beyond Atletico Madrid in a gritty, temper-boiling quarter-final showdown during midweek, while Liverpool also battled their way to the semi-finals with a 3-3 draw against Benfica keeping them on course for a historic quadruple.
The semi-final draw has kept both Premier League teams apart, meaning they would be pitted against one another in the final if they both triumph over their respective semi-final opponents.
City’s reward for toppling Atletico is a glittering match-up with their neighbours Real Madrid, who somehow managed to keep their cool to defeat Chelsea in the quarters.
Liverpool face Villarreal, the most unlikely team left in the competition. The Yellow Submarine defeated Bayern Munich following a shock, last-gasp equaliser on the night of the second leg.
