Bayern Munich set up a Champions League semi-final date with holders Paris St-Germain after they came out on top of a seven-goal thriller against Real Madrid. 16 Apr 2026
Five goals were scored in a blistering, breathless first half of a quarter-final second-leg cracker, before the game switched to a tactical battle after the break with both sides slowing down the tempo. It looked like extra time would be needed to settle the outcome, but Real Madrid substitute Eduardo Camavinga was shown a second yellow card for time-wasting four minutes from time following a foul by the French midfielder on Harry Kane. With a minute left, Luis Diaz delivered a decisive blow with his 24th goal of the season. The former Liverpool forward played a one-two with Jamal Musiala before sending a curling strike into the top corner via a slight deflection. After losing the first leg 2-1, Real led three times at the Allianz Arena with Arda Guler scoring twice, but Kane netted his 50th goal of the campaign as Bayern responded each time. They ensured there was to be no comeback from the 15-time European champions when Michael Olise curled in a fourth in added time to seal a memorable 4-3 win on the night and 6-4 success on aggregate.
Arsenal reached the Champions League semi-finals after fighting out a cagey goalless draw with Sporting at Emirates Stadium. 16 Apr 2026
The Gunners came into the game with a 1-0 lead from the first leg thanks to Kai Havertz's late goal in Portugal last week and that strike was enough to see Mikel Arteta's team take their place in the last four of the competition. Arsenal started the game in an extremely positive manner but despite the Gunners having more of the ball, it was visitors Sporting who came closest to scoring in the first half. Francisco Trincao, Pedro Goncalves and a loose pass from Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya gave Sporting opportunities before Geny Catamo hit the post with a volley after Maxi Araujo found him with a cross inside the area. The home crowd inside the stadium produced a nervy atmosphere as the game went on with the Gunners defending a slender lead and following their defeat to Bournemouth in the Premier League last weekend. Araujo had Sporting's best chance in the second period when he shot wide from inside the area while substitute Leandro Trossard hit the post with a header from a corner late on for Arsenal. The victory over two legs means that Arsenal have reached successive semi-finals in the competition for the first time in their history and will take on Atletico Madrid for a place in the final.
Atletico Madrid survived a valiant Barcelona fightback to progress to the Champions League semi-finals 3-2 on aggregate despite losing a thrilling quarter-final second leg 2-1 in Madrid. 15 Apr 2026
With Barca trailing 2-0 from the first leg, Lamine Yamal halved the aggregate deficit with just five minutes on the clock when he slid the ball under Atleti goalkeeper Juan Musso following a loose touch from former Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet. Nineteen minutes later the tie was level - Ferran Torres latched onto a Dani Olmo pass and drilled a fine left-footed strike into the top corner. A raucous home crowd was silenced for seven minutes, until Marcos Llorente broke down the right flank and found Ademola Lookman in the box to restore Atleti's aggregate lead. Barca should have gone 3-0 up on the night just five minutes earlier, but Musso spread himself to block a diving header from an unmarked Fermin Lopez. Torres thought he had scored Barca's third goal 10 minutes into the second half when he met a deflection in the box with a cushioned volley into the top corner, but after a VAR check his effort was ruled out for offside. The visitors continued to push but, as happened in the first leg last week, were reduced to 10 men when Eric Garcia tripped Atleti striker Alexander Sorloth as he raced onto a through ball. Barcelona threw everyone forward and went close through headers from Robert Lewandowski and Ronald Araujo, but were unable to produce what would have been one of the most memorable comebacks in Champions League history. Atleti will face either Arsenal or Sporting CP in the semi-finals as they look to reach the final for the first time since 2016. "It's been 14 years now. Seeing the team still competing excites me," said Atletico boss Diego Simeone. "The players have changed, we've started over countless times, and we're back among the top four in Europe. "Playing in a Champions League semi-final, how wonderful. We'll go there with all our enthusiasm and faith. We know our strengths and weaknesses. We're ready. "We'll go there to find what we've been searching for for so many years."
Ousmane Dembele scored twice as Paris St-Germain beat Liverpool to book their place in the semi-finals of the Champions League, where either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid await Luis Enrique's side. 15 Apr 2026
PSG came into the second leg with a two-goal advantage but were made to work at a raucous Anfield until Dembele scored in the 72nd minute with a wonderful left-footed finish. In added time, the Ballon d'Or winner added a second. Buoyed by the crowd, Liverpool huffed and puffed in their quest to pull off another memorable European comeback, but Arne Slot's side failed to score against the holders of the Champions League and, for the second season in a row, they have been knocked out by PSG. After their feeble display in Paris last week, where they lost 2-0, Liverpool were much better against the French side at Anfield and asked questions, but ultimately it wasn't enough. Slot opted to give Alexander Isak his first start since December and left Mohamed Salah on the bench again, but Salah was introduced on the half-hour mark after Hugo Ekitike was forced off with what looked like a worrying injury. It was the visitors who threatened more in the first half, with Giorgi Mamardashvili making saves to deny Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Dembele. Dembele wasted a glorious opportunity when he blazed over with only the keeper to beat. At the other end, Marquinhos made a stunning challenge to deny Liverpool a goal. Slot made a double substitution at the break, taking off Isak for Cody Gakpo and Jeremie Frimpong for Joe Gomez, and Liverpool started the second half on the front foot but failed to make it count. In the 65th minute, they were awarded a penalty when Alexis Mac Allister fell down after a challenge by Willian Pacho, but after the video assistant referee (VAR) intervened, the referee Maurizio Mariani overturned the decision. Seven minutes later, Kvaratskhelia found Dembele, who beat Mamardashvili with pace and power from 20 yards out to put the tie to bed. And as Anfield emptied out, Dembele tapped in from close range after he was teed up by Bradley Barcola. Defeat for Liverpool means they will end the season without silverware and it remains to be seen whether they will qualify for Champions League football next season.
Nottingham Forest edged further clear of the Premier League relegation zone with a battling draw against Aston Villa. 12 Apr 2026
Vitor Pereira's side are three points above the bottom three, following Tottenham Hotspur's 1-0 defeat at Sunderland, after Neco Williams cancelled out Murillo's own goal. Morgan Rogers clipped the bar and blazed over for Villa in a potential dress rehearsal for a Europa League semi-final. A point moved Villa level with third-placed Manchester United but a draw offers little clarity for the sides with different domestic ambitions. "We need to show the spirit of a champion, the spirit of a fighter without complaining," said Forest boss Pereira. "I know teams and players who prefer to be the victims - we prefer to be the fighters. "This is the time to show talent and character because talent is not enough. Even when we make mistakes, it helps us move forward. With responsibility and spirit we will fight until the last game. "It was a game open until the last minute and in the end I am happy with one point - one point is better than nothing.
