Barcelona
won its third La Liga Championship in four years this season, taking
back the league’s title from Real Madrid. But after that disappointing
result in La Liga, another championship in the UEFA Champions League
would go a long way in easing that pain.
Real Madrid upset Paris
Saint-Germain in convincing fashion in the Round of 16, winning both
legs to score an aggregate victory of 5-2 over the French Ligue 1
champions. Madrid also picked up aggregate wins over Italy’s Serie A
champions Juventus and Germany’s Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich to
advance to the final.
Like Real Madrid, Liverpool is hoping to
make up for failing to capture its league title by earning some hardware
in the UEFA Champions League. In English Premier League play, Liverpool
overcame a slow start of 3-4-2 to finish the season on an 18-8-3 run.
Liverpool
won its group in the UEFA Champions League to advance into the knockout
stage, where it dispatched of Porto, English Premier League champion
Manchester City and Roma to advance to this point.
