Solutions

1:B - City rivals Milan and Inter were drawn together in the semi-finals in 2003. Both legs of the tie were played at San Siro and both finished as draws. Crucially though, Milan scored in their “away” leg whereas Inter did not., 2:A - English clubs did not enter the European Cup until the 1956-57 season, by which time a Scottish side had already featured in the semi-finals. Hibs were beaten by Reims in the last four., 3:C - Who they face again this week. Bayern progressed from the semi-final comfortably in 2010, winning 3-0 in Lyon and 1-0 in Munich, before losing to Inter in the final., 4:B - Ten English clubs have reached the semi-final stage, but Newcastle are not one of them., 5:D - Forest played two and won two (in 1979 and 1980). Villa played one and won one (in 1982)., 6:B - Eintracht Frankfurt beat Rangers 12-4 over two legs in the semi-finals then lost the final 7-3 to Real Madrid (who had beaten Barcelona 6-2 on aggregate in their semi-final). It was not the best season for defenders., 7:B - The winners of the groups went straight into the final. In 1992 it was Sampdoria and Barcelona; and in 1993 it was Marseille and Milan., 8:B - PSG reached the semi-finals in the 1994-95 season, losing to Milan. PSG striker George Weah finished as the top scorer in the Champions League that season – and then signed for Milan that summer., 9:C - And they did them both against the same club in the space of two seasons. Liverpool beat Chelsea in the semi-finals on penalties in 2007, but Chelsea had their revenge the following year, beating Liverpool in extra-time at Stamford Bridge to book their place in the final (which they lost on penalties to Manchester United)., 10:B - Inter won the playoff 1-0, but were beaten by Celtic in the final.
