Hide AdWho are the remaining English clubs in this season’s Champions League?
Perhaps unsurprisingly, given their titanic battle for the Premier League title, Manchester City and Liverpool are the last two Premier League clubs in this season’s Champions League.
City will travel to La Liga champions Atletico Madrid as they look to build on the 1-0 win they earned in the first leg last week.
Kevin De Bruyne’s goal was the difference between the two sides at the Etihad last Tuesday night as Pep Guardiola’s men overcame a dogged Atleti side.
A more adventurous opponent will be face on Wednesday as Diego Simeone’s side look to overturn that first leg deficit.

Hide AdIt could be argued Liverpool already have one foot in the semi-final after they claimed an impressive 3-1 win at Portuguese giants Benfica last week.
Ibrahima Konate and Sadio Mane put Jurgen Klopp’s side into a two-goal lead by the time the half-time whistle had been blown at the Estadio Du Luz.
Highly-rated striker Darwin Nunez reduced the arrears for their hosts but a late Luis Diaz goal gave the Reds a two-goal deficit to take into Wednesday night’s second leg.
Who would Manchester City and Liverpool play in the semi-final if they get progress?
Tuesday night provided two remarkable quarter-final ties as one Spanish side defied the odds to reach the last four and another produced a stunning comeback to see off another Premier League club.

Hide AdLittle had been expected of Villarreal after they were drawn against Bayern Munich - but the Spaniards earned a 1-0 first-leg advantage thanks to an Arnaut Danjuma goal and finished the job in Germany on Tuesday.
Robert Lewandowski got Bayern back on level-terms when he netted seven minutes into the second-half - but Villarreal would not be denied a second visit to the last four as Samuel Chukwueze grabbed an equaliser two minutes from time to put his side through.
The club famously known as El Submarino Amarillo - the Yellow Submarine - will provide the opposition for Liverpool if the Reds complete the job against Benfica in the quarter-final.
Tuesday night’s other quarter-final second leg provided great drama as Chelsea threatened to pull of a shock comeback against Real Madrid.

Hide AdA Karim Benzema hat-trick had inspired Real to a 3-1 win in the first leg at Stamford Bridge last week and seemed to have secured their place in the semi-final.
But Chelsea turned the tie on its head as Mason Mount, Antonio Rudiger and Timo Werner scored to give their side a 4-3 aggregate lead as the tie made its way into its final ten minutes.
A dramatic late Rodrygo goal sent the tie into extra-time and that man Benzema struck with a powerful header to put the competition’s most successful club into the semi-final once again.
Real will face the winners of the quarter-final tie between Manchester City and local rivals Atletico Madrid.
