The Champions League semi-finals are two of the cruelest games in world football. This year, however, with only one leg and no away goals, surely the heartbreak would be halved. Wouldn’t it? Don’t you believe it.

Both losers will look back on two pulsating games in Portugal with massive regret, but for the winners, they are just 90 minutes away from winning the greatest prize in club football. Who’ll get their hands on the trophy? Let’s look back at the semi-finals and predict how the final might work out.
