And then there were four. Finally, four teams now remain, with a spot in the finals at stake.
Chelsea, Manchester City, PSG, and Real Madrid will all do battle to get their hands on the coveted prize. This means that reigning champs Bayern Munich won't have an opportunity to defend their title, as the Bavarians were knocked out by PSG who successfully got their revenge for their unfortunate loss in last season's final.
Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola, who's won this competition multiple times as a player and coach with Barcelona, will be hoping to finally win it with City after coming up short on several occasions.
And Chelsea will be seeking to win their first title since beating Bayern on spot-kicks on that famous night in 2012.
Mauricio Pochettino, who was on the tactician's bench as Tottenham had to settle for a runner's up medal against Liverpool back in 2019, will be aiming to be the man to lead Les Parisiens to glory this time around.
Finally, Zinedine Zidane, who's no stranger to success in this tournament, will be hoping to redeem Real Madrid on the big stage after coming up short in recent times. Obviously, no team has won more titles than Los Blancos, and they're naturally the big favorites now that there are only four teams remaining.
As we're now into the last four, fans naturally are quite excited for things to get underway, and they couldn't help but express their thoughts and feelings on social media.
PSG will take on Manchester City, while Chelsea will lock horns with Real Madrid.
Here are some of those reactions, plus some interesting stats and facts, of course:
