FEATURE MATCH: VILLARREAL V LIVERPOOL
WEDNESDAY 4 MAY
LIVE ONLY ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:35AM AEST
Liverpool are one step closer to a third UEFA Champions League final in five seasons after a 2-0 win against Villarreal in the first leg of their semi final tie at Anfield. If Liverpool progress, it will be their third Champions League final in five years as they continue their hunt for an unprecedented quadruple of major trophies.
FEATURE MATCH: REAL MADRID V MANCHESTER CITY
THURSDAY 5 MAY
LIVE ONLY ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:35AM AEST
After a successful first semi final match on home turf, Manchester City’s chances of making it through to the Final seems stronger. De Bruyne was outstanding once more and Foden showed how at home he is on the elite stage, but this narrow lead keeps Real Madrid very much alive in the semi final battle.
FEATURE MATCH: FRANKFURT V WEST HAM
FRIDAY 6 MAY
LIVE ONLY ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:35AM AEST
Bidding to reach a first European final in 42 years, Eintracht Frankfurt are in control of their UEFA Europa League semi final against West Ham thanks to a 2-1 first-leg win in London that maintained their unbeaten record in Europe this season, although the English side can take heart from a resounding second-leg away win in the quarter finals.
AS ROMA V LEICESTER
FRIDAY 6 MAY
LIVE ONLY ON STAN SPORT FROM 4:55AM AEST
The first-leg result was not awesome on paper, but Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers was quick to note that his side “really dominated the game”. The Foxes have yet to reach a UEFA final but they have shown they can raise their game in trying circumstances, notably making up for a 1-1 home draw with a 2-1 win at PSV Eindhoven in the quarter finals.
