DAILY POST reports that only two of the remaining four teams – Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich – will secure their ticket to the final.

Tuesday fixture:

Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid

The kickoff for this game is 8 pm, and the venue is Emirates Stadium.

The first leg in Spain ended 1-1, so Arsenal, who are currently leading the Premier League table, need a strong home performance to get past Diego Simeone’s side.

The Gunners head to the game after beating Fulham 3-0 in the Premier League over the weekend, while Atletico Madrid won 2-0 against Valencia in the LaLiga.

Wednesday fixture:

Bayern Munich vs PSG

The kickoff for this game is 8 pm, and the venue is Allianz Arena.

The first leg in Paris ended 5-4 in favour of PSG, so the Parisians, who are currently leading the French Ligue 1 table, need to put in an outstanding display to get past Vincent Kompany’s side in Germany.

The Parisians head to the game after playing a 2-2 draw with Lorient in the Ligue 1 encounter on Saturday, while Bayern drew 3-3 with Heidenheim in the Bundesliga clash at home.

Speaking with DAILY POST ahead of the Champions League semi-final second leg fixtures, Lagos-based journalist, Femi Fabunmi, backed both Arsenal and Bayern to progress to the final, citing home advantage.

“The first legs were crackers, especially in Paris, where both PSG and Bayern showed real attacking firepower,” Fabunmi said.

“Arsenal came away with a draw, which makes the Emirates Stadium return a must-watch.

“Bayern will have a cracker on their hands on Wednesday, but I think they will edge it at home.

“Arsenal’s situation is trickier, but home support should be enough to push them through to the final,” he said.
