Jamie Carragher was left stunned on Tuesday night when Peter Schmeichel boldly predicted neither Liverpool nor Manchester City will make this season's Champions League final.
The two English clubs look set to go toe-to-toe for the remaining three trophies this season with a mouth-watering Premier League title showdown on Sunday, an FA Cup semi-final next weekend and the possibility of a Champions League final.
Both took major steps towards securing their place in the last four of the European competition on Tuesday with City beating Atletico Madrid 1-0 at home while Liverpool cruised past Benfica 3-1 in Lisbon.
