Hello and good evening. Do you want more? The last two nights have seen some of the most remarkable Champions League games in history.

Liverpool and Spurs both completed comebacks from 3-0 down in their semi-finals to set up an all-English final in Madrid.

Arsenal and Chelsea are both in Europa League action tonight as they bid to make it a clean sweep of English finalists in Europe.

Arsenal look in control of their tie against Valencia after a 3-1 win at Emirates Stadium.

Mouctar Diakhaby's header put Valencia in front before Alexandre Lacazette slotted in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's pass.

Alexandre nodded in Granit Xhaka's cross seven minutes later and Aubameyang's late volley ensured Arsenal take a two-goal lead to Spain.

Elsewhere, Pedro scored an away goal as Chelsea recovered from an early setback against Eintracht Frankfurt to set up an exciting Europa League semi-final return leg at Stamford Bridge.

Eintracht took the lead through their top scorer Luka Jovic, who superbly steered in Filip Kostic's ball.

The Blues, who started with Eden Hazard on the bench, equalised when Pedro thrashed home just before half-time.

Don’t forget that the winners of the Europa League qualify automatically for next season's Champions League. So the stakes are high and we should be in for a massive night of football.

The games kick off at 7pm GMT. Stay with us for all the updates.
