Europe’s biggest club competitions reach the semi-final stage this week across the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League. First-leg ties bring heavyweight clashes, historic rivalries and breakthrough stories as the race for silverware intensifies. Fans can watch every key moment live on SuperSport on DStv and GOtv.
Champions League: Giants One Step from the Final
The UEFA Champions League semi-finals begin with two major first-leg encounters, both live on SS Football Plus HD (DStv Ch. 202).
On Tuesday at 8:00 PM, Paris Saint-Germain host Bayern Munich in a contest many view as a final-worthy match-up. PSG arrive as defending champions and Ligue 1 leaders, but Bayern already defeated them earlier in the season during the group phase. The German side will be without suspended coach Vincent Kompany on the touchline.
On Wednesday at 8:00 PM, Arsenal welcome Atletico Madrid to the Emirates. Arsenal were convincing winners when the sides last met earlier this season, but Atletico’s knockout pedigree under Diego Simeone ensures another stern challenge.
Europa League: History Meets Opportunity
The UEFA Europa League semi-finals take place on Thursday. Nottingham Forest face Aston Villa in a rare all-English Midlands clash, live on SS Football (GOtv Ch. 61, DStv Ch. 205). Two former European champions meet with a place in the final within touching distance. Forest come in full of momentum, while Villa will look to the experience of Unai Emery on the continental stage.
Also at 8:00 PM, Braga host Freiburg live on SS La Liga (GOtv Ch. 62, DStv Ch. 204). Braga have impressed with their attacking quality throughout the competition, while Freiburg continue a landmark run to their first European semi-final.
Conference League: Palace Dream Continues
The UEFA Conference League also resumes live on Thursday. Crystal Palace face Shakhtar Donetsk on neutral ground in Krakow, live on SS Premier League (GOtv Ch. 65, DStv Ch. 203). Palace have captured attention with an impressive run to the last four, but Shakhtar’s European experience makes them dangerous opponents.
Rayo Vallecano host Strasbourg in the other semi-final, live on SS Africa 2 (GOtv Ch. 64, DStv Ch. 208). Rayo continue a remarkable underdog journey, while Strasbourg arrive with growing confidence under new management.
