2023-2024 Europa League
Liverpool, West Ham Out, See Semi-finals Fixtures
*/ Liverpool were seen as favourites to win the Europa League this season but Atlanta stunned them 3-0 at Anfield last week, but the Reds recorded a 1-0 win in the return leg which was not sufficient. Hence, they crashed out 3-1 on aggregate.
At London Stadium, West Ham United almost ended the unbeaten run of Bayer Leverkusen as they enjoyed a 1-0 lead until the 89th minute before Leverkusen equalized. With that, the Premier League club crashed out of the Europa League 3-1 on aggregate.
At the Stadio Olimpico, Roma performed a miracle by using just ten men to defeat AC Milan 2-1 in the return leg earlier today, April 18. They knocked out Milan 3-1 on aggregate after playing with a man down from the first half. At the time of writing this report, Marseille and Benfica were battling for the last spot in the semi-finals. They were on 2-2 aggregate and in extra time of the encounter.
Note that the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals will take place on May 2 and the second leg will take place on May 9.
Below are the Europa League semi-finals fixtures:
