Paris St Germain were the first to book a semifinal place with Wednesday’s win over Atalanta and Manchester City are looking to progress on Saturday against Olympique Lyonnais. With Real Madrid, winners of three of the last four editions, eliminated by City and 2019’s champions Liverpool knocked out by Atletico Madrid, Bayern and Barcelona will feel 2020 represents a great chance for their sixth title.

Barca’s mood is less exuberant after they were beaten to the La Liga title by rivals Real, though they showed no signs of that disappointment in a 3-1 last-16 second-leg win over Napoli.
