Old Trafford will stage the first match of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals on 24 April after AC Milan eliminated FC Bayern München to join three English teams in the last four of club football's premier competition.
Final repeat?
While United are contesting their first semi-final in five years, their opponents Milan know all about this stage of the UEFA Champions League having reached it in four of the last five campaigns. The Rossoneri will hope to repeat their 2-0 aggregate success against United in the 2004/05 first knockout round, and a sequel to that season's epic final against Liverpool in Istanbul could also be on the cards in Athens on 23 May.
Rivals meet again
Just as two terms ago, Chelsea FC - the only semi-finalist never to have played in a European Champion Clubs' Cup final – are the barrier standing in Liverpool's way in the other tie. Chelsea will have home advantage in the first leg on 25 April, before the game concludes at Anfield on 1 May. Twenty-four hours later, at San Siro, the second of the 2006/07 finalists will be known.
