Champions League Semis Have an English Accent
Liverpool became the third English team to reach the semifinals of the Champions League and A.C. Milan of Italy claimed the final spot in the last four yesterday.
Liverpool, a five-time winner of top European club competition, got a goal from Peter Crouch to beat visiting P.S.V. Eindhoven of the Netherlands, 1-0, in the second leg and advanced, 4-0, on aggregate. The six-time champion Milan won at Bayern Munich, 2-0, to progress, 4-2, on aggregate.
Three teams from the same country have reached the semifinals twice before.
In 2000, the Spanish teams Real Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona reached the last four, and Madrid beat Valencia in the final. Three Italian teams matched that in 2003, with A.C. Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus reaching the semifinals. Milan then beat Juventus on penalty kicks in the final.
In the semifinals, Liverpool will face Chelsea on April 25 and May 1 in a rematch of the 2005 semifinals, which Liverpool won before claiming its most recent European title. Milan will take on Manchester United on April 24 and May 2.
On Tuesday, Manchester United routed visiting A.S. Roma, 7-1, to advance by 8-3 on aggregate. In Spain, Chelsea rallied from a goal down to edge Valencia, 2-1, and advance by 3-2 on aggregate.
