The 2014/15 UEFA Youth League will conclude in Switzerland next month with AS Roma, Chelsea FC, FC Shakhtar Donetsk and RSC Anderlecht vying to be crowned the Under-19 competition's second winners.
Like in 2014, when FC Barcelona claimed the inaugural title, the semi-finals and final will be played as part of a four-team tournament at the Colovray Stadium opposite UEFA headquarters in Nyon.
Shakhtar's penalty shoot-out victory against SL Benfica on Wednesday ensured this season's lineup would feature four different sides to last year, when FC Schalke 04 and Real Madrid CF were the other semi-finalists. Anderlecht completed the field on Wednesday with a 5-0 defeat of FC Porto in front of a competition record crowd of 13,162.
