FEATURE MATCH: MANCHESTER CITY V REAL MADRID
WEDNESDAY 27 APRIL
LIVE ONLY ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:35AM AEST
Losing finalists last season, Manchester City are eager to make amends and achieve their first ever Champions League win. But the 13-time European champions Real Madrid are a huge obstacle in their path. Karim Benzema is in the form of his life, with Vinicíus Júnior providing scintillating support and the venerable Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić pulling the strings.
FEATURE MATCH: LIVERPOOL V VILLARREAL
THURSDAY 28 APRIL
LIVE ONLY ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:35AM AEST
Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has history on his side against Villarreal. The German coach was in charge when the sides met in the 2015/16 UEFA Europa League Semi Finals, a 3-0 second-leg win at Anfield taking the Reds to the final following a 1-0 defeat in Villarreal. But having already knocked out Juventus and Bayern, no less, anything is possible for the Yellow Submarine.
FEATURE MATCH: WEST HAM V FRANKFURT
FRIDAY 29 APRIL
LIVE ONLY ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:35AM AEST
This will be the second time these teams have met in the Semi Finals of a UEFA competition, with West Ham coming out on top then – 46 years ago. But Frankfurt knocked out Barcelona at the Camp Nou last round and are not to be underestimated.
LEICESTER CITY V AS ROMA
FRIDAY 29 APRIL
LIVE ONLY ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:55AM AEST
Nicolò Zaniolo scored a hat-trick as Roma dominated last-eight rivals to overturn a first-leg deficit and set up only their sixth Semi Final in UEFA competition. Next up, and hoping to bar their way to the Tirana showpiece, will be a Leicester side they have never faced before.
