The second legs of the UEFA Europa League and Europa Conference League semi-finals are now set, with Aston Villa being the last remaining Premier League representative in European competitions this season.

A day after Manchester City and Arsenal were knocked out of the Champions League, Liverpool and West Ham joined them after multi-goal defeats in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals last week. Continue to fly the flag of the Premier League and create a great piece of history for the club.
Xabi Alonso’s side remain unbeaten (in any competition) this season after Jeremie Frimpong’s goal and 89th-minute equaliser to draw 1-1 with West Ham at the London Stadium. The Hammers halved their first-leg deficit thanks to Michail Antonio in the 13th minute. David Moyes’ men failed to find their way to a second goal and finally, despite being able to qualify anyway, Bayer Leverkusen continued to chase their own goal to keep the historic season alive.
Frimpong’s shot was sharply deflected, dropping Lukasz Fabianski in one direction as the ball floated in the other. Leverkusen still have five games left to play in the Bundesliga, which they won last weekend, in addition to the German Cup final and now at least two more in the Europa League. Nine more games for the first team to complete an unbeaten run in European competition.
Unai Emery’s side were leading 2-1 away to Lille, where they were trailing 3-2 on aggregate after 86 minutes and needed a small miracle. Aston Villa achieved that miracle and eventually a place in the European semi-finals. for the first time in 42 years, when goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez made two saves in the penalty shootout (and stirred up more than a few Frenchmen with his antics).
The score was 2-0 that night after Yusuf Yacizi and Benjamin Andre scored in the 15th and 67th minutes respectively, but Matty Cash fired a low laser through a sea of bodies in the 87th minute to make it 2-1 on the night and 3-3 on aggregate. Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier made a double save and a point-blank reaction to keep things in extra time, or Aston Villa could have qualified for the semi-finals had it not been for the typical drama and fury. surrounding Martinez in the shootout.
Jurgen Klopp’s men were thrashed 3-0 by Atalanta, among other things at Anfield, just a week ago, leaving them desperately in need of a stunning comeback in the second leg to keep their treble dream alive. Unfortunately, the Reds are left with only the Premier League name left despite their 1-0 win in northern Italy in the second leg.
Mohamed Salah scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot in the 7th minute, giving Liverpool fans a clever explanation for why to be hopeful, but it never translated on the pitch or with the players as they totalled 0. 55 outside the penalty spot. .
