Champions League: All-English final or Spain to reign in sem

Mon Apr 25, 2022 11:15 pm

It is the Premier League against La Liga as the Champions League begins a blockbuster semi-final stage this week.

In England's corner are domestic title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City, who face Spain's Villarreal and Real Madrid respectively.

Will we see another all-English final? Can Villarreal upset the odds? Is Carlo Ancelotti going to claim his fourth European Cup? BBC Sport looks at the major narratives at play in the final four of Europe's premier club competition.

An all-English final? A double? A quadruple?!
The Premier League is represented by its top two, a pair who have largely swept aside all they have faced this campaign as they go toe-to-toe for every trophy on the table.

City and Liverpool are favourites to win their respective semi-finals and continue England's recent dominance of the Champions League.

After being absent from the final for five seasons between 2013 and 2017, the Premier League has provided five of the past eight finalists, with two of the past three showdowns being all-English affairs.

City's problem is that they play a certain way and cannot seem to change it when needs must? Against liverpool in fa cup they took 10 mins to put ball in area even though they had possession just outside it on numerous occasions ..did same tonight grealish and sterling had numerous occasions to cross and niether did. As we know cannot score if dont put ball in pen area..
