In the early morning of April 19, Beijing time, the second leg of the Europa League knockout round was held, and there was no surprise in the result, Liverpool and AC Milan, who lost in the first leg, failed to create a miracle, and finally the two giants were eliminated and missed the semi-finals. As for Roma and Bayer Leverkusen, they both qualified smoothly and are expected to compete for the title next.
Atalanta 0-1 Liverpool
On the road, Liverpool are free to play, but they need to score at least three goals if they want to progress. It's too hard for Liverpool, who are out of form.
In the 6th minute of the first half, Liverpool got a penalty kick because of a foul in the Atalanta penalty area. Mohamed Salah then opened the scoring, a goal that gave Liverpool hope. Unfortunately, although they tried to attack after that, they were unfortunately unable to score again, and in the end Liverpool defeated their opponents 1-0 away from home, and were eliminated with an aggregate score of 1-3, missing out on the semi-finals of this Europa League.
Roma 2-1 AC Milan
In this game, AC Milan need to win to have any hope of reaching the last four. Before the game, Roma announced that De Rossi would continue to coach, which also boosted Roma's morale, and they finally beat their opponents 2-1 and advanced to the semi-finals.
Less than 30 minutes into the first half, Roberto Mancini's follow-up shot and Dybala's volley netted home to give Roma a 2-0 lead. This result almost ended the suspense of promotion, in the second half, although AC Milan recovered one goal, but they still lost 1-2, and finally Roma eliminated AC Milan with an aggregate score of 3-1, and two teams in Serie A advanced to the semi-finals.
West Ham 1-1 Bayer Leverkusen
On this night, Bayer Leverkusen almost lost on the road. In the first half, Antonio's header gave West Ham a 1-0 lead. They were one goal away from qualifying, but unfortunately, West Ham couldn't score a goal after that, but were tied by Bayer Leverkusen before the end of the game, and the two sides finally drew 1-1, and Bayer Leverkusen also advanced with an aggregate score of 3-1.
With West Ham out, the two teams in the Premier League in this Europa League have been eliminated, and for two consecutive match days, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and West Ham 4 Premier League teams have been wiped out in the Champions League and Europa League. In this season's European competition, only Villa reached the semi-finals in the European Cup, which is definitely a big blow to the Premier League. Next, I hope that Villa can compete, and they need to carry the European banner of the Premier League!
