It has left two German clubs, a Spanish side, and a French club remaining to vie for the current European club title.
The world’s most-watched club soccer competition brings unrivaled attention, discussion and prestige for clubs who advance through the tournament.
This competition is the final edition of the current format, as next year UEFA will introduce the new “Swiss model”, as part of a controversial revamp.
