Liverpool vs. Benfica live score, updates, highlights & lineups from ... (Sporting News)

Liverpool hold a commanding 3-1 lead in their Champions League quarter-final tie with Benfica ahead of the second leg at Anfield. Follow all the updates ...

As he was in the first leg, Darwin Nunez is likely to be the key man for the visitors, with the forward netting an impressive hat-trick at the weekend. Liverpool have been going through the gears in the last couple of minutes, and they're rewarded with a corner from the left. Gilberto has certainly had a lot to deal with so far, while Luis Diaz hasn't seen much of the ball on the right. It ends up with Everton in the right half space, just outside the area. 31st min: The Liverpool pressure continues to mount, with a series of corners. It looks set for the Colombian to tap in, but Grimaldo slides in just in time, to take the ball off the attacker's foot. The assistant's flag is up, and VAR shows the decision to be correct. 46th min: A Keita shot from outside the arrow fizzes just wide of the post, he hit across the ball slightly as a Jota cross was cleared to him. 25th min: Darwin Nunez has the ball in the back of the net, running into space behind Liverpool's defence before chipping Alisson in no man's land. Nelson Verissimo's side are way off the pace in the league and were knocked out of both domestic cups by Porto and Sporting CP, meaning they have little left to play for other than going as far in Europe as they can. Jurgen Klopp's side were in control for the first half in Lisbon during the first leg of the quarter-final, with goals from Ibrahima Konate and Sadio Mane no less than they deserved. Liverpool have been comfortable enough in the first five minutes of this half.

If Liverpool can see out their 3-1 advantage against Benfica they will face Villarreal in the Champions League semi-final.

The final at the Stade de France in Paris is set for May 28th. There’s also the small matter of Benfica, underdogs with nothing to lose and everything to gain, who could write their names into the history books of the Champions League with a comeback against Liverpool under the Anfield lights. Bayern, meanwhile, are nine points clear in Germany.

We make our picks for the Champions League quarterfinal second leg.

If Atletico comes out swinging and gets an early goal, it’s game on for the rest of match as City will have to look to find the back of the net on the road. Regardless, Man City should likely prove to be too much for Madrid even within the confines of their own stadium after the display they put on in the first leg.

Jurgen Klopp has said that he’ll be looking to rotate the squad a bit for the return leg against Benfica, so he’ll likely be pushing defensive tactics to hold off any advances from Benfica. The Reds should be able to close this one out at home and advance to the semifinal round. Both matches kick off at 3:00 p.m. ET and can be streamed on Paramount+ and fuboTV.

Champions League 2022: against which team will Real Madrid play ... (AS English)

Real Madrid head into the 2021/22 Champions League semi-finals after seeing off Chelsea. It is the 30th time that Los Blancos have made it this far.

The most recent Champions League Clásico was in the 2016/17 semi-finals which Madrid won 2-4 on aggregate. The most recent meeting was in the 2019/20 Round of 16 which City won home and away, taking the tie 4-2 on aggregate. In 66 editions of the Champions League (including its previous incarnation, the European Champion Clubs’ Cup), Real Madrid have made it as far as the semi-finals 30 times, and appeared in 16 finals, winning 13 of them.

That is where we find the two remaining Premier League clubs as they look to take one step closer to reaching this season's final.

They are priced at a mammoth 750/1. Benfica are classed as the competition’s outsiders as they look to overturn their first leg deficit against Liverpool on Wednesday night. A 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. 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. Two clubs have already secured their place in the last-four and they await the outcome of the two remaining quarter-final ties on Wednesday night.

The visitors were patient, slowing down the pace of the game and running down the clock to the displeasure of Atletico manager Diego Simeone and their vocal supporter crowd.

In the end, another melee kicked off which needed eight police officers to sprint down the tunnel to be broken up. Eventually, play resumed and City sealed passage through to the semi final before tempers continued to flare off the pitch. City’s Phil Foden went down and clutched at his leg after a robust challenge from Felipe. It was a fair tackle and the Brazilian was angered by Foden’s response, taking a swipe at the Englishman, which ultimately saw him sent off among the chaos.

Liverpool is set to meet Villarreal and Manchester City has a showdown booked with Real Madrid with a spot in the Paris final on the line.

However, their highest-profile showdown came in the 2015–16 semifinals when Real advanced on a 1–0 scoreline before winning the first of three straight European titles under Zinedine Zidane. While City is still searching for its first Champions League title after outlasting Atlético in the quarterfinals, Real Madrid will be seeking a record 14th trophy. Their most recent meeting came in the pandemic-delayed 2019–20 campaign, when City eliminated Real from the round of 16 on a 4–2 aggregate. While all three European powers have made the Champions League semifinals over the past three seasons, Unai Emery’s Villarreal will be making its first semifinal appearance since 2005–06, when it lost to Arsenal on a 1–0 aggregate.

Champions League semi-finals: Real Madrid and Villarreal first ... (UEFA.com)

Real Madrid and Villarreal are the first teams through to this season's UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

Raúl Albiol leads a back line which lays the foundation for a side that has mastered the art of inviting their opponents on to them before transitioning quickly from defence into attack. Unai Emery's side desperately missed the injured Gerard Moreno for much of the campaign, but you have to give them credit for getting this far with their talismanic goalscorer reduced to a cameo role for large parts. When you throw in the fact they've already knocked out Juventus and Bayern, no less, anything is possible now they are in only their second ever Champions League semi-final. He scored Madrid's 1,000th European Cup goal against Shakhtar earlier this campaign then turned around their last-16 tie with Paris with a second-half hat-trick before striking the decisive blow in extra time against the Blues. Working within a 4-3-3 template, Madrid have a strong spine starting with Thibaut Courtois and running through centre-back Éder Militão to the experienced midfield trio of Casemiro, Modrić and Kroos with all that technical quality, vision and experience. How is it possible to lose at home to Sheriff, and then reach the last four with a gargantuan performance against Paris followed by an epic tie against Chelsea? The route map helps explain.

Manchester City Fights Off Atlético Madrid in Champions League (The New York Times)

City, a team shaped by style, showed it was also skilled in the dark arts as eliminated Atlético Madrid and moved a step closer to its first Champions ...

It is the way it is because it works. Often, it is so easy to be dazzled by the brilliance of Guardiola’s side that its character, its courage, is overlooked. Atlético is not the way it is for fun. City does not wilt and it does not doubt; it keeps going, remorselessly, absolute in its conviction that it will be proved right in the end. He knows there are times when that is what matters, that is what counts. That is as much part of Guardiola’s recipe as anything else. There is no team more associated with beauty than Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. He has come, over the years, to stand as an embodiment of soccer’s higher values, its ultimate arbiter of taste, its aesthete in chief. Atlético should, by rights, be a heroic underdog among Europe’s elite, a countercultural alternative to the hegemony of pressing and possession. No injury was shaken off; even the most minor bump and bruise warranted an extended period of treatment. Simeone has spent a decade crafting a team in his own image, one that plays, just as he did, with a “knife between its teeth.” There were flashes, of course, Atlético Madrid charging forward, desperately hunting the goal that would break Manchester City’s resistance and take the game into extra time, extend their stay in the Champions League for another 30 minutes or, just maybe, another few weeks. There was quite a lot of time-wasting.

Who will win the 2022 Ballon d'Or? Benzema leads top-five power ... (Sporting News AU)

As Karim Benzema continues his push for a first Ballon d'Or as well as yet more Real Madrid glory in the Champions League, The Sporting News ranks the top ...

The two-time defending PFA Players’ Player of the Year has partly been denied a run at major global gongs due to untimely injuries, but he has been in full flight lately. As Real Madrid dragged Chelsea into extra-time at the Santiago Bernabeu after being soundly beaten 3-1 in the 90 minutes, it just had to be him. At AFCON, Salah did not get to take his penalty, and then blazed over with a place at Qatar 2022 on the line. In his past 11 outings for club and country, the Liverpool forward has scored only once. His 47 goals in 41 outings for Bayern this season put him in a class of his own - the sort of absurd levels Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo used to set a decade ago. The latter part of that equation has caused some anguish, with Egypt suffering a penalty shoot-out defeat to Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations final, before missing out of the World Cup via a play-off defeat in the same manner to the same opponents.
