After last night’s matches, the four teams that will fight each other for a spot in the final of the top European competition are now known. Atlético de Madrid, the last Spanish team standing, will face Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal with the mission of reaching a new Champions League final ten years later. The English side, for their part, seek to repeat the league phase result, in which they comfortably defeated the Colchoneros (4-0) and return to their first Champions League final since 2006. Neither team has ever won the ‘big ears’ trophy.

On the other side of the bracket, two of the favorites to lift the trophy face each other: the reigning champion, Luis Enrique’s PSG, and Kompany’s Bayern Munich. The Parisians have gone from less to more in the competition, having to play the round of 16 against a Monaco that made things very difficult for them, until beating Liverpool 4-0 on aggregate in the quarters. Their rival, Bayern, is in steamroller mode, scoring 10 goals in two matches against Atalanta and six against Real Madrid.
