The UEFA Champions League enters its most decisive stage. After the conclusion of the quarterfinals, where Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool and Sporting Lisbon were left behind, the four teams that are still alive already know their rivals and the dates on which the semifinals will be played.
Reigning champion PSG will face Bayern Munich in what is shaping up to be an early final, while Atlético de Madrid will face Arsenal in the other bracket, with both teams without European titles in their history.
The four semi-finalists arrive at an excellent moment. Luis Enrique’s PSG eliminated Liverpool with authority in the quarterfinals, while Bayern Munich beat Real Madrid in a spectacular series. On the other hand, Atlético de Madrid eliminated Barcelona with the help of a controversial expulsion, and Arsenal eliminated Sporting Lisbon to return to the semifinals of the competition after several years of absence in this instance.
The semi-finals will be played over two legs between the end of April and the beginning of May, with the first legs on April 28 and 29 and the second legs on May 5 and 6. All matches will be played in European prime time, allowing Guatemalan fans to follow them in real time from noon.
