Liverpool, a five-time European Cup champion, got a goal from Peter Crouch to beat PSV Eindhoven 1-0 in the second leg and advance 4-0 on aggregate. Six-time champion Milan downed Bayern 2-0 to progress 4-2 on aggregate.

Three teams from the same country have reached the semifinals of Europe's top club competition twice before.

In 2000, Spanish teams Real Madrid, Valencia and FC Barcelona reached the last four, and Madrid beat Valencia in the final. Three Italian teams matched that in 2003, with Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus all reaching the semifinals. Milan then beat Juventus on penalties in the final.

In the semifinals, Liverpool will face Chelsea on April 25 and May 1 in a rematch of the 2005 semifinals, which Liverpool won before claiming its most recent European Cup title. Milan will take on Manchester United on April 24 and May 2.

Clarence Seedorf scored Milan's first goal in the 27th minute and set up Filippo Inzaghi for the second in the 31st for Milan.

"The day couldn't have gone better," Seedorf said. "We played very well defensively and we were always a threat. ... We allowed a couple of early chances but then we scored and we closed our ranks."
