Two of the greatest footballers of the era will watch the decisive matches on TV.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will not play in Champions League semi-finals for the first time in 14 years, according to Sky Sports. Then the Portuguese was 21 years old, and the Argentine - 19.
This season, Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to pass Lyon with Juventus, and Lionel Messi ignominiously left the tournament after meeting with Bayern.
Note that for the Argentinean, like Barcelona as a whole, the Champions League title will be unattainable for the fifth year in a row.
Recall that for the first time since 2007, there will be no Spanish teams in the Champions League semi-finals.
