Man City draw Bayern (1-1, 1-4 Agg.) & and Inter draw Benfica (3-3, 5-3 Agg.) to Advance to Semifinals
We now have a final four in the Champions League. After both Inter and Man City established dominance with multi-goal leads in the first leg of the quarters, both clubs once again cruised to draws to advance against Benfica and Bayern to advance to the next round. At no point did Inter or Man City ever trail in yesterday’s matches, as their aggregate leads were never in danger at any point.
A Look at the Semifinal Matchups
With Inter and City both advancing, we now have an incredible pair of semifinal matchups to look forward to. Inter now faces AC in a battle for the city of Milan, while City now gets a shot at redemption as they face off against Real Madrid, who knocked them out in last year’s semifinal. Get your popcorn ready, because we are in store for some amazing soccer in a couple of weeks.
