There was mixed fortunes for the Premier League clubs in the UEFA Champions League, after a troubled Liverpool lost to the holders, PSG, but league leaders Arsenal did hold off Sporting to qualify for a semi against Atletico.

However, the favourites are Bayern Munich, who eventually overcame Real Madrid at the Arena, to setup a heavyweight last four encounter with the Parisians.

But there was much better news in the UEL and Conference League as Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa plus Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace all made it through to their respective semi-finals.

FAR Rabat, after beating fellow Moroccans RS Berkane, and Mamelodi Sundowns, following their win in Tunis, are looking favourites to meet in the CAF Champions League final.
