Bayern meet Madrid, Chelsea play Barcelona

Two classic European ties are in prospect after the UEFA Champions League semi-final programme was set.

FC Bayern München will stage the final on 19 May but to get there the four-time competition winners must beat the only side to have claimed nine European titles, Real Madrid CF. José Mourinho's team overcame APOEL FC 5-2 on Wednesday to go through 8-2 on aggregate.

The first leg is at the Fußball Arena München on Tuesday 17 April, with the Santiago Bernabéu return eight days later. Among these clubs' many meetings are consecutive semi-finals in 1999/2000 and 2000/01, with Madrid winning the first and Bayern the second, both eventually lifting the trophy. Bayern also knocked out Madrid in the last four in 1976 and 1987.

Holders FC Barcelona defeated AC Milan to reach the semi-finals and now take on Chelsea FC, 2-1 victors over SL Benfica on Wednesday to add to their 1-0 away success. They played at this stage in 2009 when Barcelona advanced on away goals, drawing 1-1 in London after a 0-0 Camp Nou stalemate, and picked up the third of their four European Cups.

The first leg is at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday 18 April before the conclusion in Catalonia six days later.
