All the key information ahead of the European Cup final, including tickets, odds and competition history
The Champions League quarter-finals have drawn to a close with both remaining English clubs being knocked out.
Manchester City’s dreams of the ‘Double Treble’ were shattered after a dramatic penalty shoot-out loss to Real Madrid. Arsenal’s hopes were snuffed out as Joshua Kimmich’s header was enough to take Bayern Munich into the semi-finals.
Elsewhere in the final round of quarter-final fixtures Kylian Mbappé struck twice as Paris St-Germain capitalised on the dismissal of Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo to qualify for the semis, while Borussia Dortmund complete the final four after victory over Atletico Madrid.
The semi-final draw has been made with the match schedule now confirmed. Bayern Munich will face Real Madrid, while Borussia Dortmund will face PSG in the penultimate round.
The first legs will be held tonight and tomorrow night, with the second legs set for May 7-8.

This year’s Champions League final is on Saturday, June 1. Kick-off is set for 8pm (BST).
The 2024 Champions League final is being held at Wembley Stadium in London.
The European Cup final returns to the famous venue for a record eighth time, and the third in the Champions League era following the 2011 and 2013 finals.
Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in an all-German affair in 2013, while in 2011 Manchester United lost 3-1 to a Lionel Messi-inspired Barcelona.
A young Pep Guardiola helped Barcelona win the 1992 European Cup final at the old Wembley in a 1-0 victory over Sampdoria.
Hosting the showpiece match at Wembley will also be an opportunity for English football to put the disgrace of the Euro 2020 final at the same venue behind it.
TNT Sports have the UK rights to the Champions League and will be showing the final. It remains to be seen whether the broadcaster will make the final available for free on YouTube, as has happened previously.
In the United States, the Champions League is shown on CBS and CBS Sports Network.
You can apply to buy tickets for the final on Uefa’s official ticket website.
Manchester City won the Champions League last season, beating Inter Milan 1-0 in the final, to complete a Treble. City were knocked out by Real Madrid in the quarter-finals this year.
The winner of the final will receive €20 million (£17.1 million) from Uefa. However, with the accumulative prize money on offer as a team progresses through the tournament, the winner could net up to €85.14 million (£72.69 million), depending on their results. Last year Man City earned around £85 million for winning the trophy for the first time.
Real Madrid have won the European Cup the most times (14), AC Milan (7) are second, with Liverpool and Bayern Munich tied for third with six wins. Barcelona have five wins, Ajax have four, Manchester United and Inter Milan have three apiece, while five teams have won it twice: Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, Juventus, Benfica and Porto. Ten teams have won the title once: Man City, Aston Villa, Celtic, Borussia Dortmund, Hamburg, Feyenoord, PSV Eindhoven, Marseille, Red Star Belgrade and Steaua Bucharest.
