An entertaining two days of matches between some of European football’s finest club sides has produced the ‘Final Eight’ teams who will fly to Germany – or stay there if they’ve already arrived – to battle for the Europa League trophy.
There were wins for Inter Milan, Sevilla and Bayer Leverkusen as sides such as Glasgow Rangers, Roma and Getafe all saw their seasons end with defeat. The two English sides remaining in the competition were involved in two nail-biting clashes that deserve a fuller appreciation.
Manchester United 2-1 LASK
An entertaining final home game of the elongated 2019/20 season at Old Trafford saw the hosts put out a largely-changed side, concede a wonder goal but still get the win they sought as they beat LASK 2-1 on the night to triumph 7-1 on aggregate.
