The semi-final matches for this season’s UEFA Champions League will be fully confirmed by tonight (Wednesday, April 16, 2025).
On Tuesday, two teams booked their spots in the last four: Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.
PSG qualified despite losing 3-2 to Aston Villa in the second leg at Villa Park. The French champions had gone into the game with a 3-1 lead from the first leg.
Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes gave PSG an early 2-0 lead, but Aston Villa fought back with three goals. However, it was not enough to change the outcome, as PSG advanced with a 5-4 score on aggregate.
Barcelona also made it through, even though they lost 3-1 away to Borussia Dortmund. The Spanish side had a strong 4-0 advantage from the first leg in Spain. Serhou Guirassy scored all three goals for Dortmund, but the Bundesliga team failed to overturn the deficit.
With the results so far, PSG will now wait to face the winner of the tie between Real Madrid and Arsenal. Arsenal are going into the second leg in Spain with a 3-0 advantage.
Barcelona will face either Inter Milan or Bayern Munich. Inter beat Bayern 2-1 in Germany during their first-leg clash.
The final two quarter-final matches will be played tonight, and the full semi-final pairings will be confirmed afterwards.
