The Champions League semi-final draw has been successfully completed. The matches in this round will be a fateful encounter between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, the remaining match will be between AS Roma and Liverpool.
Notably, the draw only took place at 6pm on April 13 (Vietnam time). But its result coincided with an announcement by Roma Club in the morning.
In a ticket purchase guide sent to Roma fans, Serie A representatives listed Liverpool as their opponents. This led to the question of whether the draw was rigged and leaked or was it just a coincidence. UEFA and Roma have yet to comment on the information.

| Roma knew their opponent would be Liverpool? |
Liverpool and Roma will be facing each other in a clash of the two clubs, with Mohamed Salah set to return to face his former club for the first time. The Egyptian forward joined Anfield last summer for £38m from Roma and has enjoyed a fine campaign so far, scoring 39 goals for the Reds.
"I was walking up the stairs and someone told me Roma were in the semi-finals. I really thought it was a joke," Salah said after the quarter-final second leg. "It's not that I don't respect Roma, on the contrary, they are a great team. They beat a tough opponent (Barca), that's a big thing."
