Tottenham was eliminated without surprise, and next, it's time for the real drama to start after their exit.
No one is really talking about Tottenham's match; people are more eagerly awaiting the arrival of next weekend because of Manchester and Spain. European football will enter a true derby frenzy.
Considering the weakness of the other semifinalists in the FA Cup, the Manchester Derby between Manchester United and Manchester City is almost a premature final - similar to 1999, the Red Devils face the first step towards the treble challenge.
Similarly, for Spain, the two classic national derbies within four days will determine the ownership of both the league and King's Cup trophies.
Historically, the maximum number of derby matches in a single season across the five major leagues is only four, specifically the 1958/59 season Derby de Madrid, the 1959/60 Spanish National Derby, and the 2002/03 Derby della Madonnina.
