The 2026 Champions League quarter-finals are history and less than a handful on teams remain on the road to Budapest.‌Paris Saint-Germain, the holders, were first to book their ticket by thrashing Liverpool, coming away from Anfield with a deserved 4-0 victory on aggregate. Also on Tuesday, Atletico Madrid reached the semi-finals after a barnstorming clash with Barcelona, edging the tie 3-2 despite losing the second leg in their own back yard.‌Then came two contrasting games on Wednesday. Leading 1-0 from the first leg, Arsenal narrowly got the job done with a goalless draw at home to Sporting Lisbon and will face Atletico in the semis.‌Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, meanwhile, played out a classic. Two late goals from Bayern saw them book a mouth-watering tie with PSG, the winner of which will almost certainly go into this year's final at the Puskas Arena on Saturday, May 30 as favourites.But who'll lift the trophy when all is said and done?
