The Premier League have continued their dominance over European football's major competitions.
After Liverpool and Spurs booked an all-English Champions League final, Chelsea and Arsenal followed suit to confirm their places in the Europa League final later this month.
Eden Hazard was the hero for Chelsea, scoring the decisive spot kick in a penalty shootout win against Frankfurt.
The sides couldn't be separated in 120 minutes, a 1-1 draw on the night, 2-2 on aggregate.

Things were far more straight forward for Arsenal.
The Gunners survived a brief scare, before a Pierre Emerick Aubameyang hattrick helped them beat Valencia 4-2 in Spain, to wrap up a 7-3 win over the two legs.
It's the first time ever that just one country will provide all four European finalists.
That final will be played in Baku on the 29th of this month.

Meanwhile, The Republic of Ireland under 17s are out of the European Championships, despite an unbeaten group campaign.
For the third time in a row, Colin O'Brien's side played out a 1-1 draw, this time against Belgium.
They missed out on a place in the quarter finals, after the Cezech Republic's 2-0 win against Greece.
A huge thank you to every supporter who turned up to the three #IRLU17 games 👏🏻
Also thanks to @RTEsport for broadcasting the games 👍
Hopefully the Irish public saw what we did...young lads playing good football under guidance of a great staff - and fighting all the way 🇮🇪☘️👊 pic.twitter.com/qLRiQkOzRp— FAIreland ⚽️🇮🇪 (@FAIreland) May 9, 2019
