And then, there were four: two rival brothers from Spain, one giant from Italy, and an emerging force from France. Yes, we’re talking about two-time beaten finalists Atletico Madrid, 11-time winners Real Madrid, solid side Juventus and surprise-package AS Monaco. One of these four teams will lay its hands on the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League title in Cardiff City, on June 3.
However, to reach that final stage, victory must be achieved in the semi-finals with the first legs scheduled for May 2/3 and the second legs set to take place on May 9/10. The big question here is the following: how will these four conquerors be paired for the penultimate phase of this year’s exhilarating European campaign? Find out this Friday, April 21, 2017! Note: it’s an open draw, meaning that two teams from the same country can be drawn against each other. In other words, a repeat of the 2014 and 2016 finals could very well occur in the Last 4.
