The identities of all of the teams who will be taking part in the semi-finals of the 2021 Champions League will be known after tonight’s games. Liverpool host Real Madrid at Anfield hoping to claw their way back into the tie after losing the first leg 3-1. At the same time, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City will be resolving their quarter final at Signal Iduna Park. Pep Guardiola’s City have a 2-1 lead from the first leg but Dortmund’s away goal could prove decisive.

PSG and Chelsea through

We already know who two of the semi-finalists will be this year. Paris-Saint Germain booked their place in the last four after eliminating Bayern Munich 3-3 on aggregate, going through on away goals despite losing last night’s return leg 0-1. Chelsea joined them and similarly lost the second leg against Porto by a solitary goal. They had already done enough after winning the first leg 2-0 in London.

PSG will face the winners of Quarter Final 1 (Manchester City or Borussia Dortmund) in the semi-finals. While Chelsea will meet the winners of Quarter Final 4 (Real Madrid or Liverpool).

The semi-final first leg games will be played simultaneously on Tuesday 27 April with kick-off at the usual time of 3pm EDT/12:00 PDT (21:00 CEST). The return legs will be played the following week on Wednesday 4 May at the same time.
