No Treble for City this year...

If Man City went on to win the Treble AGAIN this season, it would have been one of the craziest stories ever in football.

Nevertheless, Real Madrid crushed any hope of a successive Treble on Wednesday as they knocked the Premier League leaders out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage, triumphing in the penalty shootout.

There was plenty to unpack from the game - Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland supposedly coming off because they were tired, Real Madrid's shrewd penalty-taking tactics and whether City could rally themselves to go again.

If you missed any of the aftermath, take a look at some of Mail Sport's popular stories over the last couple of days...

So, what's in store?

Of course, all eyes will be on Manchester City's FA Cup semi-final a little later on, with proceedings getting underway at Wembley at the unusual kick-off time at 5.15pm.

Before that though, there's a battle at the bottom of the Premier League for us to keep our eye on at 3pm.

Sheffield United take on Burnley at Bramall Lane, with the loser almost certain to seal relegation to the Championship next season.

Meanwhile, Luton host Brentford at Kenilworth Road, with the Hatters able to climb out of the relegation zone with a much-needed win.

So, who's coming out on top today? Let me know in the comments...
