Jadon Sancho 'could not have seen' his spot in Champions League semi-finals coming, Rio Ferdinand claims... after the forward turned his season around following Man United departure

Rio Ferdinand has insisted Jadon Sancho 'would not have seen' his spot in a Champions League semi-finals coming.

Sancho started both legs of Borussia Dortmund's quarter-final tie against Atletico Madrid over the last fortnight, playing a key role as his side got the better of their Spanish opponents over the two games.

Going into Tuesday's home leg trailing, Edin Terzic's side overturned the 2-1 deficit to go through 5-4 on aggregate having won 5-4 on the night in Germany.

Chelsea loanee Ian Maatsen and former Manchester United midfielder Marcel Sabitzer were among those on the score sheet for the hosts, and Sancho could be seen engaging in the chaotic celebrations upon some of the goals and at full time.
