jenni_blogThe semi-finalists are: Atletico Madrid, Valencia CF, Athletic Club Bilbao and Sporting Club de Lisboa.
Atletico Madrid and Sporting Lisbon won the first legs at home. But will Valencia and Athletic Bilbao prove too difficult to overcome in the second legs?
All four of these teams are so evenly matched, it's almost impossible to say. I had predicted Atletico Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao in the final, but I could be wrong. Whatever the result, the two remaining semi-final games should be very exciting!
Some pics from the first legs:
Falcao for Atleti. Last year's top goalscorer with 17 goals for FC Porto, who went on to win the title. This year tied on goals with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar of Schalke with 10 so far.

Falcao meets American Pie actor Jason Biggs, who must have been at the match. :)
