It's been a disappointing season for English clubs in Europe, with Aston Villa the sole survivors heading into semi-final week across the continent. While the clubs expected to thrive have fallen away, interest on these shores has instead turned to English players.
Three of the four Champions League semi-finalists have English players not only in their starting XI but at the heart of their team as well. After Jude Bellingham vs Harry Kane last night, tonight it is the turn of Jadon Sancho to perform in the grandest shop window imaginable.
Manchester United were the first English club to fall in this season's Champions League, yet it is United who will take a keen interest in the competition this week, rather than Manchester City, Arsenal or Newcastle United. They might not be publicising Sancho's involvement with Borussia Dortmund at Old Trafford, but they are certainly monitoring it.

In Westphalia tonight and in Paris next Tuesday Sancho has a chance to help Dortmund reach a Champions League final that is being played in the city of his birth. He also has the chance to help control his narrative and ensure he has a significant say in what happens next season.
Since returning to Dortmund on loan in January there is a sense Sancho has rediscovered his enthusiasm for the game, having spent four months training on his own at Carrington after a fall-out with Erik ten Hag. Dortmund head coach Edin Terzic said recently that Sancho is a "lot of fun for us" and he has been undroppable since finding his match fitness again.
