The Old Lady defeated Monaco 1-0 on aggregate to reach their first Champions League semi-final in 12 years but will face a European heavyweight in the last four.

Defending champions Real Madrid have been touted as the most favourable draw for Juve, after squeezing past rivals Atletico Madrid 1-0 over two legs.

Bayern demolished Porto 6-1 in the second leg after a shock 3-1 defeat in Portugal and Barcelona were impressive as they dispatched Paris Saint-Germain 5-1 on aggregate.

All four teams have enormous European pedigree with Real Madrid winning 10 Champions League or European Cup titles, with Bayern collecting five, Barcelona four and Juventus two.

The Old Lady’s last triumph in Europe’s premier competition was in 1996, but they have finished as runners up on three occasions since then.
