A super Goossens, author of a brace is not enough for Fiorentina, who at 90' is 2-1 with Betis thus equalizing what had been the result of the first leg of the semi-final of Champions. Because then, in extra time, comes the cold shower of the goal of Ezzalzouli which sends the Andalusians to the final against Maresca's Chelsea in Wroclaw on May 28. The Viola thus misses out on a third consecutive final in the competition.

Europa League, English derby. Tottenham secured the Euroleague final with a 2-0 win in the return leg at Bodo Glimt. The Londoners had also won the first leg 3-1. United also had a clean sweep, eliminating Athletic Bilbao. Amorim's team defeated the Basques 4-1 at home yesterday, after a 3-0 away win. The final will be played on May 21 in Bilbao.
