    I've always respected Sevilla's contrast sock game on the first kit bit it doesn't work for this change.

    For Slavia to change as the home team only compounds the problem and then to go to sky blue not white is the final twist of the knife.

              So, Eintracht Frankfurt is the last German team standing...

                A Masopust plays for Slavia Prague, so I'll be switching allegiance to them.

                  The winners of the top half and bottom half meet in the semi-finals, and the winners meet in the Final in Baku.

                    Awfully odd not seeing Sevilla there.

                      Arsenal v Chelsea in Baku would be funny wouldn't it.

                        Arsenal 2 up early doors against Napoli. They are going to miss Ramsey somewhat.

                          Joao Felix is looking pretty good for Benfica. Playing a teammate free in front of the goalie who gets pulled down for a penalty and a red card, slots home the penalty himself, and hammers in the second goal from outside the box. But Eintracht Frankfurt have their away goal.

                            Joao Felix adds an assist and his third goal of the night, to put Benfica 4-1 up.

                              Are Chelsea fielding their strongest available XI?

                                Technically tricky header by Paciencia to give Frankfurt their second away goal.

                                  That was a cracking Chelsea goal.

                                    No, not by a long chalk, Gero. Three games in six days with a trip to Prague in the middle has meant that resources have had to be shuffled.

                                      Twas Satch that asked that.

                                        It certainly was. Apologies to both of you.

                                          Pedro puts Chelsea a goal up within 5 minutes.

                                            Nightmare deflection makes it 2-0, after Pedro hits the post from 3 feet.

                                              3-0 Giroud. This is a skelping.

                                                Hopefully Benfica and Valencia will be in decent form in the semis (although at 2-4 the Benfica tie is not yet done)

                                                According to forbes.com, "Since 1971/72, when the UEFA Cup predecessor to the Europa League was first launched, there have been nine finals with teams from the same association - Italy (1990, 1991, 1995 and 1998), Spain (2007 and 2012), England (1972), Germany (1980) and Portugal (2011)."

                                                Shows how dominant Serie A once was.

                                                  THE COMEBACK IS ON!

                                                  3-1 Free header from a corner. Shocker.

                                                    Scratch that: 4-1.

                                                    Pedro shinnies one off the turf, over a defender's leg, and over the goalkeepers hand at a height of about 2 feet.
