MANCHESTER, England — The Champions League is down to the semifinals — and clubs from Europe’s four biggest soccer nations still have a shot at the title. Three of them are aristocrats of the continent, with Madrid, Bayern and Liverpool having won the competition 22 times between them. The most recent was 2014, when Madrid won home and away against a team coached by Pep Guardiola. Salah has scored 41 goals in all competitions — eight of which have come in the Champions League — and on Sunday was voted English soccer’s player of the season. Liverpool came through the playoff round in August and is the only unbeaten team in the Champions League.
