All four Premier League teams have reached the quarter-final stages of the Champions League for the third time in the competition’s history.
After seeing off Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night, Liverpool have booked their place in the last eight alongside domestic rivals Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham.
The Premier League is the only domestic league to ever have four representatives in the last eight of Europe’s premier club competition – a feat now achieved three times in the last 11 years.
The last time English football had a full set in the competition at this stage was the 2008-09 season when United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all reached the quarter-finals, only for Barcelona to comfortably beat Sir Alex Ferguson’s side 2-0 in the final in Rome.
The previous season, the same quartet reached the last eight with United and Chelsea meeting in the first ever European final contested by two English clubs.
United sealed a memorable victory on penalties in the rain at the Luzhniki Stadium to win their third European Cup.
The draw for this season’s quarter-final takes place on Friday.
