April 20, 2023

YAAAAY! History was made! After both AC Milan and Manchester City successfully played the second leg, it is certain: For the first time in the company’s history, two PUMA teams will play in the semi-finals of the prestigious UEFA Champions League. Will one of the teams lift the trophy in the end? We are keeping our fingers crossed!

A 4-1 aggregate win over Bayern Munich saw Man City advance to this stage of the competition for the third year in a row. Three fine goals at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium gave the team a 3-0 advantage ahead of the trip to Germany, before a 1-1 draw in the second leg yesterday secured our progress.

Next up: Man City will face Real Marid in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

That PUMA team Man City sailed into the semi-final shows how far Pep Guardiola has already taken the squad. Now they want to go all the way and finally seal the glory of a first Champions League triumph.

It was a magical and historic night! A battling 1-1 draw in Naples sees PUMA team AC Milan progress 2-1 on aggregate progressing to the Champions League semi-finals. At the “Maradona”, the Rossoneri played out the sweetest of draws and, thanks to their narrow win in the first leg, made the final four of Europe’s elite competition for the first time in 16 years!

Next up: For the first time in 18 years there will be a Milan derby. AC Milan will play against Inter Milan in the semi-final.

 

Champions League rules: Is the Champions League semi-final one leg or two?

Each tie in the knockout phase, apart from the final, is played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs advances to the next round. If the aggregate score is level, then 30 minutes of extra time is played (the away goals rule is not applied).

 

Mark it down in your diary!

May 9    Real Madrid vs. Man City (first leg)
May 10  AC Milan vs. Inter Milan (first leg)
May 16  Inter Milan vs. AC Milan (second leg)
May 17 Man City vs. Real Madrid (second leg)

Who will take the title this year? 🤔
