Eintracht Frankfurt win after 42 years

Eintracht Frankfurt beat Rangers 5-4 on penalties on Wednesday in Seville to win the Europa League title and claim their first European trophy in 42 years.

UEFA Europa League: Frankfurt and Rangers would meet in the final

Eintracht Frankfurt beat 10-man West Ham United 1-0 in their Europa League semifinal second leg on Thursday to reach their first European final in 42 years with a 3-1 aggregate victory.

The Frankfurt fans and Barca defeat

The explanation for what happened on Thursday night is simple: this time they didn't; this time they came and supported Barcelona's opponents instead. But that is not the only difference, and here is an important point to end on. If "tourist" is a loaded word, used dismissively and often unfairly, this time it doesn't really apply. Here comes the caveat, and it is a colossal one: these weren't "tourists"; these were fans, loyal and loud, following their team en masse across the continent for a night they would never forget. And when you strip it all away, that part at least was actually genuinely pretty special - something unique worthy of celebrating the way Eintracht Frankfurt did.

Barcelona are out of Europa League

It was too little far too late. Barcelona were out and will finish the season trophyless - Eintracht will play West Ham having knocked out the favourites on an unforgettable night for their supporters.

Barcelona advance

Much of Xavi Hernandez's time in charge of Barcelona has seen stop-start results, with fans yet to see a clear blueprint of how the team can move forward, play and succeed in the coming months, yet green shoots started to appear in a swashbuckling 4-2 victory over Napoli on Thursday.

Unai Emery is an immortal figure at Villarreal at present and rightly so. 

Arsenal fire blanks, Unai Emery had the last laugh

Two years have not been completed yet and during this time Arsenal, under Mikel Arteta, experienced a couple of false dawns.

Manchester United escape the Roma scare

Teams like AS Roma might have lost their glory days, still, they are habituated to exhibit their fighting nature and shock the superior opponents – just ask Ajax and Barcelona how Roma stunned and Manchester United were given the scare at Rome, but thankfully, someone like Edinson Cavani was there for the rescue.

The UEFA Europa League is more often known as the Unai Emery League because he boasts a fantastic record in this competition and right now, after being sacked from North London, he has taken Villarreal to the semifinals of the Europa League and started off with a victory. Still, the threat remains because Arsenal have an away-goal advantage.

Real Madrid are the champions of Champions League

It felt like one of those old flicks they show on Saturday afternoons in which the gang successfully gets together for one final, big heist. Except, even without Mbappe, you suspect this won't be their last -- not when there's a guy like Ancelotti, one of the few men who can pull off the cardigan-cigar-shades combination and lead a team in transition to a league and cup double. Not with young guns - Vinicius, Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Rodrygo - already with the "big one" under their belt.
