Post-Match Analysis
Borussia Dortmund's 2024/25 UEFA Champions League campaign ended with a win, despite their elimination. A Serhou Guirassy hat-trick gave Dortmund hope, but they ultimately fell short, losing 7-3 on aggregate. Dortmund are struggling domestically, six points away from a UCL spot, and time is running out.
Barcelona's Dominance
Barcelona have been unstoppable in 2025, scoring freely and returning to the UCL semi-finals six years after their last appearance. Their dream of a third domestic treble is still possible. However, the defeat in Germany ended their 24-game unbeaten run, with Dortmund becoming the first team to beat them this year.

Aston Villa's Maiden Journey Ends
Aston Villa's maiden Champions League era journey has concluded, but they have much to be proud of. The 1981/82 European Cup winners ended their campaign with a win, their third against Ligue 1 opposition, all of which came at home. Despite falling short, Villa's quarter-final exit marks a promising run.
Paris Saint-Germain Advances
Paris Saint-Germain edged out Aston Villa 5-4 on aggregate, showcasing their quality when it mattered most. Les Parisiens are now in their fifth semi-final in Europe's premier club competition, and fourth in the UCL era. PSG have appeared in the semi-finals four times in their last six campaigns, with only one run going further.
Inter Milan's Unbeaten Run Continues
Inter Milan secured a 4-3 aggregate win over Bayern Munich, advancing to their second semi-final in the last three seasons. The Nerazzurri remain unbeaten in their last 15 home matches in the Champions League, with Bayern being the last team to beat them at San Siro in the 2022/23 group phase.

Bayern's Quarter-Final Struggles
Despite injury issues, Bayern Munich gave Inter a tough match, but ultimately couldn't overcome their first-leg deficit. This marks the fourth time in five years that Bayern have been knocked out at the quarter-final stage. With 10 quarter-final exits, Bayern have suffered more eliminations at this stage than any other team in the Champions League era.
Real Madrid's Disappointing Season
Real Madrid's 2024/25 UCL campaign has been a massive disappointment, marked by losing both legs of a knockout round tie for the first time in five years. The team's six losses in the competition are also a record for the most suffered in a European season.
Arsenal's Historic Advance
Arsenal has returned to the UCL semi-finals after 16 years, remaining undefeated against Real Madrid in four head-to-heads. The Gunners have joined an exclusive group, becoming the eighth team to knock out Real Madrid twice in the European Cup/Champions League. Only Bayern Munich and Juventus have achieved this feat more frequently.
