Manchester City vs Liverpool: From Luis Garcia’s ‘Ghost Goal’ to John Terry’s tears, the history of all-English Champions League knockout ties
Pep Guardiola and Co have it all to do as they look to overturn a 3-0 deficit in the second-leg at the Etihad on Tuesday

All eyes may be on the second-leg in Manchester, but this is by no means the only all-Premier League knockout showdown in Champions League history.
In fact, there have been NINE England vs England ties in the Champions League era alone.
