Champions League semifinal matches and Europa League are scheduled next week. Of the eight remaining participants of European -ugal matches, five clubs are among the founders of the Super League. In the semifinals of the Champions League “Real” will meet with Chelsea, and “Paris Saint-Germain” – with Manchester City. In the 1/2 finals of the Europa League “Villarreal” will play with Arsenal, and Manchester United – with “Roma”.
In the event of the exclusion of “Real”, Chelsea and Man City from the Champions League, they could replace the losers of the quarterfinals – “Bavaria”, “Porto” and “Borussia”.
