A few years ago, when Liverpool won the Champions League, Jurgen Klopp’s side could look to full-backs Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson with confidence that they would produce match-winning performances. Goals, assists, and corners taken quickly. To possess the two best full-backs in the world was a game-changer.

Real Madrid have a monumental task on their hands if they're to keep their hopes of a treble alive, as they look to overturn a three-goal deficit against Arsenal in this Champions League quarterfinal.

Their reward is a semi-final showdown with PSG, who have already seen off two Premier League teams in Liverpool and Aston Villa. Arsenal met PSG in the league phase when goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka sealed a 2-0 win.

Paris St Germain kept alive their dream of a first Champions League title on Tuesday by squeezing past Aston Villa 5-4 on aggregate after a pulsating second leg of their quarter-final which the English side won 3-2.
