It was just 12 months ago that football fans around the globe were blessed with a phenomenal 7-6 aggregate score between Inter Milan and Barcelona, as well as another thrilling tie between Arsenal and Paris St Germain.

Which two, of those impressive four, qualify for the final will be decided over the coming two days.
