Real Madrid to face Bayern Munich in Champions League semi-final
Real Madrid will meet Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals, while Liverpool will take on Roma.
The holders, who knocked out Juventus in the last eight, will face the newly crowned Bundesliga champions in a repeat of last season’s quarter-final match-up.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah will get the chance to play against his old club when Jurgen Klopp’s side take on Serie A side Roma.
The Reds booked their place in the last four after a 5-1 aggregate win over Manchester City in the last round, while the Giallorossi produced a stunning comeback to beat Barcelona on away goals after a 4-4 draw over two legs.
We’ll be opponents for 180 minutes, but whatever happens we’ll remain friends for life. Looking forward to seeing you again, @22mosalah! #ASRoma #UCL #RomaLiverpool pic.twitter.com/eo0Rm4VWW9
