To get to Kiev for the Champions League final, the best European teams have to overcome another barrier - the semi-final. After the draw, which was assisted by Andriy Shevchenko and Vitali Klitschko, such pairs as Liverpool - Roma (the first match on April 24, the return match on May 2) and Bavaria - Real (on April 25 and May 1).
By the way, Madrid and Munich more often than others met in the history of European competition. The nearest matches will be for them the 25th and 26th. Curiously, Bayern will play for the sixth time in the semifinals against the team from Spain. In general, from the Champions League and the European Champions Cup (as the tournament was called until 1992), the Germans beat out the galaxy six times (five times from the semifinals). True, the previous two times the victory was for Real (2014 and 2017). Parimatch now also believes more in Madrid and gives them 55% to reach the final against 45% in Bavaria.
But to underestimate Munich is not worth it. After all, they have even more motivation in the form of an impressive record - a golden hat trick. Previously, only eight teams in one season won the championship and the national cup, as well as the main European tournament. Real this has not succeeded once, and Bayern can be the first who will do it twice in history.
As for the second pair, according to the quotes of the bookmakers, Liverpool has more chances of success: 65% versus 35% for Roma. It's funny that the day before the draw on the site of the Romans could already buy tickets for a home match with the British. This turned out to be a mistake that was quickly corrected, but it was noticed by the fans, who are now discussing with might and main, whether there were any frauds during the draw.
Also the match is interesting to the duel of the Egyptian Mohamed Salah against the Romans, for which he spoke last year. However, while everything looks friendly. Roma on Twitter said hello to her ex-forwards: "We will be rivals for 180 minutes, but whatever happens, we will remain friends for life. Hope to see you again ".
To this, the football player answered with a gypho, on which he cheerfully waves to the Romans.
By the way, see the final battle of the best football teams of Europe in the season 2017/18, for the fan - that's still the task. Tickets at the ticket office can not be bought, but they can be won, for example, in a special project "The Champion's Way".
