The Champions League returned this week with the conclusion of four quarter-final ties – and delivered some of the best games in the history of the competition.

Liverpool booked their spot in the last four with a superb 2-1 win over Manchester City that saw them progress 5-2 on aggregate. It is the first time the Reds have reached the semi-final stage since the 2007/08 season.

On the same night Roma stunned Barcelona, pulling off a sensational second leg comeback that saw them win 3-0 at the Stadio Olimpico, meaning they progressed on away goals.

A day later and Juventus almost managed a similar feat against Real Madrid. 3-0 down after the first-leg, they led 3-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu, only for a last-minute Cristiano Ronaldo penalty to send them crashing out.

And then there’s Bayern Munich, who have somewhat flown under the radar so far. They beat Sevilla 2-1 on aggregate just a few days after wrapping up the Bundesliga title.

Europa League

It's pretty much the worst draw Arsenal could have faced, as they are paired against the side that is ranked third in the Uefa club rankings behind only Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Arsenal have never played Atletico in a competitive fixture, but the two sides did meet in the 2009 Emirates Cup in a pre-season clash in which the Guners prevailed 2-1 thanks two a double from Andrey Arshavin. Of course, a lot of time has passed since then...
