The Champions League semi-finals draw was released today, and it seems as if UEFA have produced the first ever Champions League Homecoming. Liverpool play Roma, while Real Madrid take on Bayern Munich. There are so many storylines that can be written about these matches, but one very intriguing one is the fact that a number of players are taking on their previous clubs.
Toni Kroos gets to take on Bayern Munich after leaving them for Real Madrid back in 2014, James Rodriguez takes on his parent club as he is on loan at the Bavarian giants, while Mohamed Salah takes on Roma in what will be a mouthatering clash. All of these players experienced considerable success at their previous clubs, so you will want to keep a keen eye on this storyline for when the semi-finals roll around.
Will the fans of their previous clubs boo them? Will the players celebrate if they score? Who knows what will happen when the semi-finals kick off, but you can be assured that these matches will produce fireworks. Bring it on!
