Arsenal will now play&nbsp;Villarreal in the 2nd semifinal as it will be a reunion of sorts with former Gunners boss Unai&nbsp;Emery. Meanwhile, Manchester United also entered the semifinals of the Europa&nbsp;League after an easy 2-0 win over Spanish club Granada in the 2nd leg of their quarterfinal tie. Edinson&nbsp;Cavani&nbsp;opened the scoring in the 6th minute and Granada contributed with an own goal in the losing cause as Ole Gunnar&nbsp;Solskjaer's&nbsp;men won 4-0 on aggregate. They now play Italian giants AS Roma in the semifinals.&nbsp;

Real Madrid played out a goalless draw with Liverpool at the Anfield in the 2nd leg of their quarterfinal clash in the Champions League. The draw was enough to send Zinedine&nbsp;Zidane's&nbsp;men through to the Champions League semifinals&nbsp;as the manager is hunting for his 5th title as the boss of the Spanish side. Manchester City in the other game outclassed German club Borussia&nbsp;Dortmund in the 2nd leg at home to win 2-1. Phil Foden and Riyad&nbsp;Maharez&nbsp;scored a goal each for City as they won 4-2 on aggregate. Pep Guardiola's&nbsp;side breaks their jinx of losing at the quarterfinals for 3 straight years as they entered the last four for the first time since 2016. In the last 4, PSG will play Man City and Real Madrid will take on Chelsea for a place in the final.&nbsp;

They were beaten 1-0 on the night but couldn't prevent Chelsea from entering the Champions League's semifinal. FC Porto&nbsp;did everything right by beating Chelsea 1-0 in the 2nd leg of their clash which was played in Sevilla but clearly, the lone goal scored wasn't enough.&nbsp;Medhi Taremi&nbsp;scored through a stunning bicycle&nbsp;kick to give a 1-0 win to Porto. The 2012 winners who won the first leg 2-0 had enough cushion to ride through the Porto&nbsp;attacks and enter the semis.&nbsp;&nbsp;

After a goal-fest&nbsp;in the 1st game which saw Paris St Germain&nbsp;win 3-2, Bayern&nbsp;Munich fought hard to defeat their French rivals 1-0 in the 2nd leg in Paris. The lone strike of the match came from&nbsp;Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting&nbsp;who found the back of the net in the 1st half. PSG&nbsp;managed to prevent further damage as they kept the scoreline to 1-0 which meant that they advanced to the semifinals on the basis of the away goal rule.&nbsp;

VAR or&nbsp;video assistant&nbsp;referee was once again under the&nbsp;spotlight as Manchester United schooled Tottenham on Sunday&nbsp;night in the Premier League. First, a goal from Edinson&nbsp;Cavani&nbsp;was disallowed after the referee consulted the VAR&nbsp;for a possible foul against Spurs' Son&nbsp;Heung&nbsp;Min. A few minutes later Son gave Spurs the opening goal which remained the only strike of the 1st half.&nbsp;Pushed into the corner, Manchester United came back stronger and scored thrice in the 2nd half including a goal each from Fred, Cavani,&nbsp;and Mason Greenwood to finish&nbsp;the match 3-1 and collect all 3 points. The win reduces the gap between the two Manchester clubs to 9 points as United has played a game less.&nbsp;

Los&nbsp;Blancos&nbsp;clearly dominated the first half of the match with goals from Karim&nbsp;Benzema and Toni Kroos in the 13th and 28th min respectively. The Catalan giants who did not play up to the scratch in the first half came back strongly in the 2nd half. Madrid was forced to feel the chills when at the 60th min mark Barcelona found a goal. However, the hosts kept Lionel Messi and his team at bay as they claimed a 2-1 win and the&nbsp;spot in La Liga&nbsp;with 66 points.&nbsp;

10-man Leeds United stunned leaders Manchester City 2-1 in the Premier League on Saturday night as the Citizens&nbsp;suffered their first home defeat against a promoted side in 42 League outings.&nbsp;Stuart Dallas was the star of the show as he stood out with a brace. After his opening&nbsp;goal in the 42nd minute,&nbsp;Ferran Torres equalised in the 2nd half with his&nbsp;first Premier League goal since December. Just when it seemed that the 2 teams will share points, Dallas dramatically produced an injury-time winner. With that, Leeds became&nbsp;just the fourth promoted side to win away against the Premier League leaders in the competition's history.

Manchester United had an easy night out in Spain as they beat Granada 2-0 at home in the 1st leg of the quarterfinal tie in the Europa&nbsp;League. Marcus Rashford scored the opening goal which followed by a 90th min penalty from Bruno Fernandes&nbsp;to seal the deal as United registered a 2-0 win. Arsenal, on the other hand, were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw at home by Slavia&nbsp;Prague. After a goalless first half, Nicolas Pepe&nbsp;finally found the back of the net in the 86th min and it looked like Arsenal would register a win but the visitors found a goal in the 93rd min of play to spoil the party and score a crucial away goal as well.&nbsp;

Ben Chillwell&nbsp;&amp; Mason Mount scored a goal each for Chelsea as they put up a dominant display on the road against Porto&nbsp;in the 1st leg of the quarterfinal tie of the Champions League. The 2-0 win for Chelsea came in Spain at&nbsp;Sevilla's Sanchez Pizjuan stadium which was chosen due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the 2nd leg of the tie will be played at the same venue. The Thomas Tuchel&nbsp;led side were expected to put up a dominant show against Porto&nbsp;who had earlier knocked out Juventus&nbsp;in the previous tie.&nbsp;

Kylian&nbsp;Mbappe was on point as his brace stunned defending champions Bayern&nbsp;Munich in the first leg of the quarter-final tie against Paris St Germain. A total of 5 goals were scored on the night at the Allianz&nbsp;Arena as the French side edged past the defending champions 3-2. The French side took a 2-0 lead first only to see that dominance blow away as Bayern&nbsp;fought back to equalise in the 2nd half but Mbappe&nbsp;found the winner in the 68th min.&nbsp;With 3 away goals, Paris St Germain&nbsp;has done most of their hard work&nbsp;as Bayern&nbsp;Munich will have a mountain to climb in the 2nd leg. &nbsp;

Vinicious&nbsp;Jr was on point as a brace by the 20-year-old sealed a 3-1 win for Real Madrid in the 1st leg of their quarterfinal tie against Liverpool. Vinicious&nbsp;Jr's&nbsp;2 goals came in each half as Marco Asensio&nbsp;also got on the Spanish club's scoresheet&nbsp;as they played at home. Toni Kroos was instrumental in the win for Real Madrid as his long balls were hailed by&nbsp;Vinicious&nbsp;Jr. Liverpool got a crucial away goal in the form of a lone strike from Mohd&nbsp;Salah&nbsp;in the 51st minute but the 3-1 scoreline will surely hurt the 2019 Champions League winners.&nbsp;

English Premier League leaders Manchester City narrowly avoided an embarrassment as they sneaked a 2-1 win over German club Borussia&nbsp;Dortmund in the 1st leg of the quarterfinal tie in the Champions League. After an early goal from Kevin de Bryune, it looked like Manchester City would steal a 1-0 win but their German challengers had some other plans. 84th min into play, Dortmund equalised through a crucial away goal from Marco Reus. With the match slipping out of their hands, City rallied back to score a winner courtesy Phil Foden in the 90th min of play. Despite a 2-1 win at home, City will be disappointed as they let through a crucial away goal which might haunt them in the 2nd leg of the tie.&nbsp;

Barcelona boosted their chances of winning the La Liga title as they clinched a dramatic 1-0 win over Real Valladolid on Monday night.

Courtesy their 6th consecutive La Liga&nbsp;win, Barcelona moved up to the 2nd spot, one point behind leaders Atletico Madrid.

Despite Harry Kane's&nbsp;heroics, Tottenham&nbsp;were held to a shocking 2-2 draw by Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday night.&nbsp;Joelinton put the hosts&nbsp;ahead in the 28th minute but 2 gaols within 4 minutes by Kane put the Spurs ahead.&nbsp;He has now scored 84 away Premier League goals for Tottenham, the most by any player for a single club in the competition. His brace though didn't prove enough as&nbsp;on-loan Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock&nbsp;slotted in an equaliser in the dying minutes to help his side secure a point. Jose Mourinho's&nbsp;men&nbsp;have failed to win six Premier League games this season in which they led at half-time, the most of any side.

After Marcus Rashford's&nbsp;leveller,&nbsp;Mason Greenwood headed in his first Premier League goal at Old Trafford this season and sealed the game in the 83rd minute. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's&nbsp;men have won 25 points from losing positions in the Premier League this season, 9 more than any other side.

Liverpool inflicted a crushing 3-0 defeat on Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on Saturday. While the first half of the match went goalless, Jurgen&nbsp;Klopp&nbsp;made a crucial change at the hour mark, as he introduced Diogo&nbsp;Jota&nbsp;who took Andrew Robertson's place. Jota&nbsp;immediately increased the pace of the game with his brace, scored in the 64th and 82nd minute. A minute later,&nbsp;Mohammed&nbsp;Salah&nbsp;too netted a goal for The Reds, as Liverpool registered their biggest ever margin victory in an away top-flight match against Arsenal. With this win, Liverpool moved to the fifth spot in the EPL&nbsp;table.
