UEFA Champions League Semi-Final Draw Result

First legs, Tuesday 24 and Wednesday 25 April
Bayern Munich v Real Madrid
Liverpool v Roma

Second legs, Tuesday 1 May and Wednesday 2 May
Real Madrid v Bayern Munich
Roma v Liverpool

Champions League final, Saturday 26 May
Winner of Bayern/Real Madrid v Liverpool/Roma

So, Liverpool face Roma in the last four. That’Cs probably the best draw they could have hoped for, really. “Could not have been better for LFC,” is the verdict from Dean Kinsella, via email. They will play the first leg at Anfield before a date in Rome, at the mammoth Stadio Olimpico. A Roma reunion for Mo Salah, too.

The other tie? Bayern Munich and Real Madrid renew their European rivalry, with what surely guarantees us another 180 minutes of brilliant football. And a brief footnote that the winner of Bayern/Real Madrid will, technically, be the nominal home team v Liverpool/Roma in Kiev for the final in May.

Elsewhere, in the UEFA Europa League, Marseille was drawn against Salzburg while Arsenal plays Atletico Madrid.
