The 2024–25 UEFA Champions League is entering its business end, with just four teams remaining in the competition.

Only Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan, and FC Barcelona are still standing, with the semifinals set to take place in late April and early May.

Reaching this stage is no small feat. All four teams successfully navigated the tournament’s thrilling but fiercely competitive new-look league phase, before seeing off top-tier opposition in the knockout rounds.

In the quarterfinals, Arsenal stunned reigning champion and 15-time winner Real Madrid with a 5–1 aggregate victory. Inter Milan took down Bayern Munich, FC Barcelona defeated last year’s runner-up Borussia Dortmund, and PSG eliminated surprise package Aston Villa.

So, who else have the four remaining teams outlasted on their road to the semifinals?
