Of the remaining four teams in the Champions League, Real Madrid are the defending champions. They are even aiming for an unprecedented record of winning the championship 3 times in a row - something unprecedented in the history of the tournament. To do that, Real just sweated to overcome Juve in the quarter-finals. In the immediate future, Zidane's team will have Liverpool, Bayern Munich or AS Roma.
Speaking of fate in recent years, Real Madrid cannot forget Bayern Munich. Starting from the 1999-20 season until now, the two teams have met 6 times in the knockout matches. The head-to-head score is 3-3. The most recent time, Real eliminated Bayern in the Semi-finals of the 2013-14 season with a total score of 5-0 after 2 matches and won the championship afterwards.
As for Liverpool, this is the first time in 10 years that they have reached the semi-finals. The last time The Kop met Real Madrid was in the round of 16 in the 2008-09 season. At that time, the "Red Brigade" defeated their opponent with a total score of 5-0 after 2 matches. For The Kop, Bayern Munich is not a fateful opponent in the Champions League as the last time the two teams met was only in the European Super Cup match of 2000-01 (Liverpool won 3-2).
However, the person who currently holds Liverpool is Jurgen Klopp. When he was in charge at Dortmund, the BVB - Bayern confrontations were always the focus and were considered the "German derby". Klopp must have missed the 2012-13 Champions League Final when Robben of the "Gray Tigers" scored in the 89th minute, ending BVB with a score of 2-1.
The other team is AS Roma. Speaking about the two words "fate" in the Champions League, many people will certainly remove the Serie representative's name in this semi-final because it has been 34 years since the Olimpico club has gone so far in the most prestigious arena in Europe.
Roma have met Real in 10 Champions League games since 2001-02. The Serie A representative has only won 2 matches, drawn 1 and lost 7. The last time in the round of 16 of the 2015-16 season, Real defeated Roma in 2 matches with a total score of 4-0.
As for Liverpool, the last time Roma faced the "Red Brigade" in the Champions League was 16 years ago. In that group stage, Roma drew 0-0 at home and lost 0-2 away at Anfield.
The result of the Serie representative was not much better in the Champions League when meeting Bayern Munich. In the past, Roma have played 4 matches against the "Gray Tigers" in the group stage (season 2010-11 and 2014-15). Roma's only win (3-2) against Bayern in Group E in 2010-11 season. In the remaining 3 matches, Italy lost and conceded 11 goals.
