Antonio Rudiger silenced the home crowd, scoring the match-winning penalty for Real, who have now reached the Champions League semis a record 17 times.

If the pre-Champions League era is included, the Spanish giants have reached the European Cup semis a whopping 33 times.

Real Madrid hold the record for the most European Cup titles, having won the tournament 14 times in their storied history. They last won the Champions League crown in 2022.

Bayern Munich

Bayern's quest to win a major trophy in the 2023-24 season remains very much alive after they edged past Arsenal in their quarter-final clash on Wednesday night.

The German giants recorded a 1-0 win in the second leg thanks to a 63rd-minute goal from Joshua Kimmich to beat the Gunners 3-2 on aggregate.

It was a much-needed victory for Bayern, whose 11-year Bundesliga reign was ended by Bayer Leverkusen over the weekend.

Bayern have won six European Cups, with their last Champions League title coming in 2020 when they defeated PSG in the final.

Kylian Mbappe is on a mission to bring the Champions League trophy to Paris before he departs.

They took full advantage, scoring four unanswered goals against 10-man Barcelona to record the 6-4 aggregate win.

PSG have never won the Champions League title. Their best finish in this tournament came in 2020 when they lost in the final to Bayern Munich.

Borussia Dortmund

The Champions League dream remains alive for Borussia Dortmund. The German club recorded a thrilling comeback win over Atletico Madrid, scoring two late goals in the second leg to produce a 5-4 aggregate win.
