After Harry Kane helped Bayern Munich see off Arsenal, Jude Bellingham starred for Real Madrid as they ended Manchester City's dream of a double-treble on a dramatic night at the Etihad.
Kane and Bellingham will now meet in a Champions League semi-final showdown as they bid to reach a Wembley final on June 1 and take a step closer to a possible Ballon d'Or.
Kane, who left Tottenham for Bayern in a £100million deal last summer, said: "It will be another war against [Jude's] team, but that is the experiences that we both went abroad to try to achieve, to play in these big nights and these big semi-finals.
"Is Wembley the dream? For both of us, for sure. With Wembley being our national stadium, it is extra motivation there for us. But there are two games ahead of us before that which are going to be really tough, so we have to focus on that."
