81′ GOAL Olympiacos! 2-0

El Kaabi zal in Nederland niet veel belletjes doen rinkelen, maar de dertigjarige Marokkaan laat zien een geweldige spits te zijn. Hij vuurt Olympiacos op een 2-0-voorsprong en maakt zijn vijfde (!) doelpunt in dit tweeluik. Olympiacos kan de finale niet meer ontgaan.


Leverkusen-AS Roma | donderdag 9 mei om 22:43

83′ GOAL Leverkusen! 1-2

Wat een horrormoment voor Mancini, die de bal uit een corner op het hoofd krijgt en het leer in zijn eigen doel ziet verdwijnen. Leverkusen virtueel naar de Europa League-finale!


donderdag 9 mei om 22:42

84′ Koopmeiners, De Roon and Hateboer can put the Europa League final in their diary: May 22 in the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.



Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 10:35 PM

76 ‘Does Xabi Alonso still have a master move to prevent Leverkusen’s first defeat this season?


Atalanta-Marseille | Thursday May 9 at 10:33 PM

77′ There’s Hateboer! Hans from Beerta can also make minutes at Atalanta. He replaces Lookman, the scorer of the first Atalanta goal.


Olympiacos-Aston Villa | Thursday May 9 at 10:30 PM

67′ Another 25 minutes or so and then these Olympiacos fans can really cheer. Their club is heading for its first European final in club history.


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 10:28 PM

Danny Desmond Makkelie is making his mark on Leverkusen-AS Roma for the time being. Anyway, the South Hollander had no choice but to award a penalty twice.


Thursday May 9 at 10:26 PM

66′ GOAL AS Roma! 2-2

No matter how annoying he can be, this is great from Paredes. The Argentinian sends Kovar into the wrong corner and equalizes the score over two matches. That first defeat of the season now seems to be coming for Leverkusen…



Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 10:25 PM

65′ Penalty AS Roma!

It is indeed hands from Xhaka! AS Roma gets the ultimate chance to get to 0-2 and completely level the score in two matches.


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 10:24 PM

64’Will AS Roma get another penalty? The VAR calls Makkelie to the screen because of an alleged handball.


Atalanta-Marseille | Thursday May 9 at 10:23 PM

d0744b9d88.jpg

A hand on the club logo. And don’t blame Ruggeri after his beautiful goal. Atalanta is still heading for the first European final in club history.


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 10:21 PM

61′ Well, what will Leverkusen do in the last half hour? Full on attack to prevent his first defeat of the season? Or cherish this score and reach the Europa League final? For the time being, star player Florian Wirtz will remain on the bench.


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 10:19 PM

58′ What a wonderful second half in Leverkusen so far. First AS Roma gets a shooting opportunity through El Shaarawy, then Leverkusen is close to the equalizer on the counter. Frimpong breaks through and lays the ball down for Hofmann, who bounces off Svilar.



Thursday May 9 at 10:16 PM

Small Eurovision Song Contest update: It’s almost Joost Klein’s turn. But unless you like heels, I would continue to follow this live blog.


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 10:14 PM

54′ Leverkusen puts AS Roma in a tight position and gets some half-opportunities, but it has not yet resulted in a giant chance. The Roman visitors can still dream of the final.


Atalanta-Marseille | Thursday May 9 at 10:09 PM

52′ GOAL Atalanta! 2-0

Atalanta takes a giant step towards the Europa League final! Wingback Ruggeri cuts inside and drives the ball hard into the far intersection. De Roon and Koopmeiners are on roses.


Atalanta-Marseille | Thursday May 9 at 10:06 PM

49′ Atalanta does well there, I say. Suddenly, Ndiaye is free in front of Atalanta goalkeeper Musso, but the Senegalese lobs the ball just wide of the goal. Ndiaye then collapses to the ground in disbelief.


Atalanta-Marseille | Thursday May 9 at 10:01 PM

950650fa68.jpg

46′ Kick-off second half! The ball is rolling again at Atalanta-Marseille (and in a few minutes also on the other fields). Will De Roon and Koopmeiners reach the Europa League final?



Thursday May 9 at 9:51 PM

Rest on all fields! A miracle will have to happen for Olympiacos to miss out on the Conference League final. In the Europa League it is still quite exciting on both fields. We’ll continue in fifteen minutes.


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 9:48 PM

If we don’t allow anyone in the Netherlands to score a goal, it is Paredes, who shot a ball into the Dutch dug-out during Argentina-Netherlands at the World Cup. But hey, it’s fun for the competition.


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 9:44 PM

43′ GOAL AS Roma! 0-1

Paredes hits the mark! Roma is (against the odds) completely back in the diptych and needs one more goal for extra time. Will Leverkusen also lose its undefeated status this season?


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 9:41 PM

41′ Penalty AS Roma!

Tah pulls Azmoun to the ground and Makkelie resolutely points to the spot. The Leverkusen players can’t believe it, but Danny Desmond seems to have seen it right.


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 9:39 PM

39′ Two almost identical matches are taking place in Leverkusen and Bergamo. The home team gets chance after chance, while the visitors can do nothing but stop. Leverkusen now also has a huge opportunity, but again passes it up.



Atalanta-Marseille | Thursday May 9 at 9:37 PM

36′ What is Marseille doing? Once again Atalanta gets a huge chance, this time via the Ketelaere, but goalkeeper Lopez saves. That man is slowly earning a statue next to the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille.


Atalanta-Marseille | Thursday May 9 at 9:35 PM

34′ Well, it becomes difficult to score while stumbling… Lookman approaches the Marseille goalkeeper alone, but stumbles at the supreme moment. Shame!


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 9:33 PM

30′ Frimpong! The Dutchman shows himself. He cuts inside and takes a nice swing with his inferior left hand, but Svilar dives the ball out of the corner. So far there has been no successful Italian catenaccio at AS Roma, which has little to say.


Atalanta-Marseille | Thursday May 9 at 9:32 PM

30′ GOAL Atalanta! 1-0

Atalanta’s opening goal was inevitable and has finally arrived. Ademola Lookman fires the ball into the Marseille goal from the edge of the penalty area. That’s a well-deserved lead.


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 9:30 PM

29 ‘Leverkusen can also say that it has hit the aluminum tonight. Palacios shoots from the edge of the penalty area against the left post. The ball then rolls just short of the goal via the back of goalkeeper Svilar.



Olympiacos-Aston Villa | Thursday May 9 at 9:29 PM

20483f0b20.jpg

Because we are still waiting for goals on the other fields, we will take a look at the image just after the opening goal by El Kaabi on behalf of Olympiacos.


Atalanta-Marseille | Thursday May 9 at 9:26 PM

24′ Atalanta back on the aluminum! Scamacca hits the crossbar from a corner. De Ketelaere’s rebound is stopped by the Marseille goalkeeper. It is now a small miracle that Atalanta is not yet ahead.


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 9:23 PM

23′ Leverkusen striker Hlozek is well released in the penalty area, but Mancini throws himself in front of the shot like a Roman warrior. No goal!


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 9:22 PM

21′ Spinazzola had to leave the field injured. His replacement is the Pole Zalewski.


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 9:21 PM

20′ So, referee Danny Makkelie has to work hard in Leverkusen, when things go crazy after Spinazolla joins in and Leverkusen does not clear the ball. A big commotion follows, resulting in yellow cards for Tapsoba of Leverkusen and Mancini of AS Roma.



Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 9:18 PM

6557dbd1ff.jpg

Will this man (Xabi Alonso, that is) remain undefeated tonight with Leverkusen?


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 9:17 PM

14′ First chance also for Leverkusen! Palacios tests Svilar with a shot from outside the penalty area, but the header goes straight to the Belgian goalie.


Olympiacos-Aston Villa | Thursday May 9 at 9:13 PM

11′ GOAL Olympiacos! 1-0

Olympiacos on roses! Striker El Kaabi made three last week when he visited Aston Villa and has already scored his first. Olympiacos 5-2 ahead in two matches!


Thursday May 9 at 9:11 PM

We also have a Eurovision Song Contest live blog tonight, but of course the performances of Olympiacos back Quini and Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn are just as interesting to follow.


Atalanta-Marseille | Thursday May 9 at 9:07 PM

6′ Atalanta hits the post! De Ketelaere plays around Marseille goalkeeper Lopez and seems to be able to work the ball (from a difficult angle) into an empty goal, but shoots the ball wide from the outside of the post.



Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 9:04 PM

4’And also a huge opportunity for AS Roma! After a beautiful pass from Pellegrini, Lukaku comes alone in front of Leverkusen goalie Kovar, but the Belgian plays the ball just too far in front of him.


Olympiacos-Aston Villa | Thursday May 9 at 9:03 PM

2’Great chance Olympiacos! Chiquinho gets the ball at his feet in the penalty area, but fires just wide.


Thursday May 9 at 9:00 PM

1′ Atrap! All duels have started. Which clubs will qualify for a European final tonight?


Olympiacos-Aston Villa | Thursday May 9 at 8:31 PM

Aston Villa: Martinez; Cash, Torres, Konsa, Carlos, Digne; Diaby, McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Bailey; Watkins.

Olympiacos-Aston Villa | Thursday May 9 at 8:13 PM

Unai Emery is considered ‘Mister Europa League’ with four final victories, but has never won the Conference League. If the Spaniard wants to add that to his trophy cabinet this year, his team Aston Villa must make up for a 4-2 deficit at Olympiacos. A tough job for Ajax’s executioner.


Leverkusen-AS Roma | Thursday May 9 at 8:10 PM

e2687031a1.jpg

Can Jeremie Frimpong cheer again tonight with Bayer Leverkusen? ‘Die Werkself’ is still undefeated in all competitions this season. Judging from the 0-2 win in Rome last week, it does not look like that series will end tonight. For Leverkusen it would be his first European final in 22 years.


Atalanta-Marseille | Thursday May 9 at 8:04 PM

adb7a8e6fd.jpg

Hans Hateboer, Teun Koopmeiners and Marten de Roon can make history with Atalanta tonight. Never before have the Italians reached a European final. After the 1-1 in Marseille last week, it certainly does not seem an impossible mission. The tension is high at Atalanta, as evidenced by De Roon’s concentrated head.


Thursday May 9 at 8:00 PM

Which clubs will qualify for a European final tonight? In the semi-finals of the Europa League, Atalanta will face Olympique Marseille at home (1-1 first leg). The other semi-final is between Bayer Leverkusen and AS Roma (first leg 2-0). The second finalist of the Conference League will also be announced tonight. Olympiacos defends a 4-2 lead against Aston Villa at home. All matches start at 9:00 PM.
