When Borussia Dortmund kicked off the centre circle for the sixth time of the game, referee Kakir blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Lineker, who was a guest commentator on Sky TV, immediately said loudly: "The game is over! It was a crazy game and no one would have thought that United would be down by two goals in the opening ten minutes, or that the final score would be 5:3. ”

'The two giants have combined to present us with a feast of goals, and Marcus Rashford, who scored a hat-trick again, is undoubtedly the key figure.'

In the first half, Rashford was once limited by Dortmund, and Manchester United also looked a little passive on the field, and the score was 0:2 behind. But when he opened his goal account in the second half, he became unstoppable and scored three goals in a row. ”

'Three goals, three different ways, a one-on-one stab from the counter-attack, a powerful long-range shot from outside the box, a 40-yard super lift ball in the world, Marcus Rashford showed us what it looks like to be an all-round striker!'

'In the two-legged knockout round, Dortmund have played well enough and they have scored four goals. However, they met a stronger Manchester United, or an invincible Rashford, who scored six goals in two legs, is simply omnipotent, so Dortmund can only unfortunately stop in the Europa League quarter-finals. ”

'Congratulations to Manchester United, Louis van Gaal's side are finally on the right track after a bad time. In the league, they have risen to third in the table, they have reached the last four of the FA Cup and Europa League, and even if they finish the season with their current results, they are not a failure, let alone they are still on the road to victory, and no one knows how they will finish the season. ”

"With Manchester City reaching the last four of the Champions League and Europa League, we finally don't have to worry about the Premier League being squeezed into the fourth league by Serie A, but I have to say that the other Premier League teams have to work hard in Europe, otherwise the Premier League is not in a good position!"

……

………………

The average Manchester United fan didn't think as far as Lineker thought, and all they knew at the moment was cheering and celebrating.

Marcus Rashford, on the other hand, is looking at the rewards for this game that have been settled by the Football Emperor system.

"At the end of the match, congratulations to the host for leading the team to win and gain 500 XP. The host's current experience is 5750. ”

"The host scored 3 goals in this game and gained 6 attribute points; Awarded as the best player of the game, 2 attribute points will be awarded; Completing a hat-trick rewards you with 2 skill points. The host currently has 11 attribute points and 5 skill points. ”

Rashford only used up 10 attribute points to increase his header to 73/73 again, while 5 skill points could no longer upgrade the elevator ball to level 6, so he had to keep it.

Shortly after the match between Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund, the other three Europa League quarter-final second legs were also over, and the final four places were all decided.

The top four are Manchester United from the Premier League, Shakhtar Donetsk from the Ukrainian Premier League, and Sevilla and Villarreal from La Liga.

Sevilla beat Athletic Bilbao on penalties in the quarter-finals, also from La Liga.

The draw for the Europa League semi-finals will take place on 15 April at 12pm local time at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, where there will be no evasion and it will also be decided which semi-final winner will wear the home shirt in the final.

………………

The draw for the Champions League semi-finals was preceded by the draw for the Champions League semi-finals. In the end, Manchester City, who advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time, was drawn to join the Champions League king Real Madrid, while Atletico Madrid fought against Bayern.

When the draw came out, Manchester City fans wailed, believing that they had drawn the worst draw.

This was followed by the Europa League semi-final draw.

Shakhtar Donetsk and Sevilla have both won the Europa League or their predecessor UEFA Cup, with Sevilla being the kings of the Europa League, winning four times and defending the title this time.

Manchester United are a superforce in Europe, having won the Champions League three times, but their performances in the Europa League and their predecessors, the UEFA Cup, have been terrible.

This is the eighth time in Manchester United's history that they have played in the Europa League, including its predecessor, the UEFA Cup, and they have now achieved their best performance in the competition.

Manchester United first competed in the tournament back to the 1964-65 season, but at the time the tournament was called the International City Fair Cup, which was invitational and not recorded in the official UEFA tournament records. Manchester United reached the last four, where they were knocked out in the semi-finals by Hungarian side Ferencvaros, who won the title that year.

In the 1971-72 season, UEFA officially took over the Fairs Cup, creating the UEFA Cup as we know it.

Manchester United made their debut in the UEFA Cup in 1976-77 and were knocked out of the League Cup by Juventus in the 16/16 finals after beating Ajax in the quarter-finals of the 32nd, which ended in the UEFA Cup.

In the 80s, United played in the UEFA Cup three times, but in 1980-81 and 1982-83 they were knocked out in the first round of the 32-quarter-finals by Polish side Wizevloz and Spanish side Valencia, who won both seasons to Ipswich and Anderlecht respectively.

Finally, in the 1984-85 season, Manchester United ushered in a breakthrough in the UEFA Cup, knocking out Hungarian side Gioli, Dutch side PSV Eindhoven and Scottish side Dundee United to reach the quarter-finals, creating the best result of the team's UEFA Cup era. United were eventually eliminated in the quarter-finals by Hungarian side Vidoton Fehva, who finished runners-up that season and won the title to Real Madrid.

Villarreal's previous best result has been reaching the semi-finals in 2004 and 2011.

The draw was again chaired by UEFA's Head of Liaison and Media, Pedro Pinto, in collaboration with Head of Competition, Giorgio Marchetti, and this season's ambassador for the Europa League final, former Swiss International Ofre.

Frei first drew Shakhtar Donetsk, whose opponent was Sevilla; The other group is Villarreal vs Manchester United. The winner of the second semi-final will play as the home team in the final.

The first leg will be at home, with the two semi-legs taking place on 28 April and 5 May GMT.

The final will be played on May 18 at the St. Jakob's Park in Basel. I want to talk about "The British Emperor" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
