According to the rules, after entering the semi-finals, there is no taboo, and teams from the same country or group can play against each other. However, according to past examples, in order to maintain the ratings of the Champions League in various countries, UEFA will try its best to ensure that all powerful teams can occupy corresponding seats, otherwise a large part of the audience may be lost.
There are three Premier League teams in the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season. In order to prevent English teams from monopolizing the quarter-finals, it seems inevitable that the two Premier League teams will meet. An interesting phenomenon in the Champions League is that "enemies" who often meet in the Champions League are particularly likely to meet again. According to this rule, Chelsea and Liverpool are more likely to meet.
And Manchester United have the opportunity to be assigned to the other half and have the opportunity to stage the Premier League derby in the final. If their opponent is Bayern Munich, who has played many times in the Champions League, it will be another focus battle. Manchester United reversed Bayern to win the championship in 1999, but two years later Bayern eliminated Manchester United in the ranking of 16 and finally won the championship. It is also in line with the law that European giants meet again.
There may be another team conflict in this half, Rome and AC Milan. The results of the two decisions will make it possible for the semi-finals of the Champions League to have the best result of four different national teams being equally divided, or at least three national teams occupying the semi-finals respectively. The result will be similar to last season, when the top four were Barcelona and Villarreal in La Liga, AC Milan in Serie A and Arsenal in Premier League.
Valencia are the only team left in La Liga. In order to retain Spanish fans, Valencia had the opportunity to meet Eindhoven, who is recognized as the weakest in the quarter-finals. The Dutch team leader is also the team with the lowest chance of winning in the 1/4 finals. Moreover, this game can also keep an unconventional European giant in the semi-finals.
Of course, the above game is purely speculation, and the real result will have to wait until Friday, which will be decided by UEFA CEO Ghianni Inventino and European Club Committee President Vicky, the last ambassadors and captains of Euro 2004 in Stickler and Greece.
