La Liga and the Premiership will be represented in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League after Manchester City and Real Madrid take care of Paris St Germain and Wolfsburg to make it into the final four.

It’s not unusual to see a Manchester team in the semi-finals of the Champions League, but they’re usually wearing the colour red; not blue. Manchester City (and not United) will be sticking the Premier League flag deep into the soil of the semi-finals after beating Paris St Germain by a goal to nil at the Etihad to win 3-2 on aggregate.

It’s the first time in City’s history that they have reached the semi-finals of the world’s most prestigious club competition. To be honest, they did it without playing their best in either leg.

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic promising to strut his stuff in the Premier League next season, and PSG exited stage left at the quarterfinals for the fourth consecutive year, perhaps Laurent Blanc has taken them as far as he can?
