THE CHAMPIONS!<\/p>\n

We now have our four semifinalists in the UEFA Champions League<\/a> and after Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> (over Liverpool<\/a>) and Atl\u00e9tico Madrid<\/a> (over Barcelona<\/a>) punched their tickets Tuesday night, it was time to find out who would advance from Wednesday’s matches.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid<\/a> went to Germany to take on Bayern Munich<\/a> and after an entertaining first half, it was goals from Luis D\u00edaz<\/a> and Michael Olise<\/a> to send Vincent Kompany’s team to the semifinals winning 6-4 on aggregate. Meanwhile, Arsenal<\/a> hosted Sporting CP<\/a> and were able to advance to a second straight semifinals following their 1-0 aggregate win.<\/p>\n
