Leading 2-1 from the first leg, the visitors were reduced to 10 men when Mario Dorgeles – scorer of Braga's last-gasp winner in Portugal – was shown a straight red card for a professional foul on Jan-Niklas Beste. Freiburg soon made their numerical advantage count, taking the lead on the night when Jean-Baptiste Gorby's attempted clearance rebounded off Lukas Kubler's knee before trickling over the line via the inside of the far post. The opening goal may have been slightly fortuitous, but there was nothing lucky about Yohan Manzambi's stunning second four minutes before half-time. The 20-year-old midfielder worked space for a shot on the edge of the penalty area before curling an unstoppable right-footed drive into the far corner, sparking jubilant scenes among the home supporters at the Europa-Park Stadion. Victor Gomez struck the woodwork after rounding Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu late in the first half, before Vincenzo Grifo was denied by the same post with a low drive early in the second. Braga keeper Lukas Hornicek made a sensational double save to deny Igor Matanovic and Matthias Ginter with 20 minutes remaining, but the 23-year-old was powerless to prevent Kubler from extending Freiburg's lead with a towering header. Pau Victor's close-range header gave the visitors hope seven minutes later, but there was to be no way back for Carlos Vicens' side. Julian Schuster's side will face Aston Villa in the final in Istanbul on Wednesday, 20 May (20:00 BST) after Unai Emery's side thrashed Nottingham Forest 4-0 in the second leg of their last-four encounter at Villa Park. Thursday's victory was Freiburg's 11th home win in succession in the Europa League, equalling Sevilla's all-time record set between April 2014 and March 2016.

The semi-final second leg was not a classic like the first encounter in Paris, which saw Luis Enrique's holders take a 5-4 advantage to Munich's Allianz Arena. Harry Kane scored his 55th goal of the season for Bayern deep into stoppage time, but it could not provide any consolation on a night of bitter disappointment for Vincent Kompany's side. It was almost impossible to repeat the stunning standards of the first leg, but this was still a game of high quality and opportunities. And PSG took their first chance after only three minutes when Georgian genius Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's brilliant run and cross set up Ousmane Dembele for a thumping finish. In an electric atmosphere, Bayern tried to force their way back into the tie, but Kane was mostly kept at arm's length and the hosts were frustrated. Bayern were convinced they should have had a first-half penalty when Vitinha rifled a clearance against Joao Neves' arm inside the box, but the laws state a spot-kick cannot be given if the ball has been played by a team-mate. PSG created the better opportunities after the break, with Desire Doue coming close on several occasions, but Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer formed a formidable barrier. Bayern pressed tirelessly, with Kane striking superbly late on, but could not recover the deficit and PSG will now meet Arsenal in Budapest on Saturday, 30 May.

The breathtaking encounter at Hill Dickinson Stadium means City trail leaders Arsenal by five points with a game in hand, but Mikel Arteta's Gunners now have their destiny in their own hands. In a sensational Monday night match, City were left frustrated by Everton soaking up pressure and were in need of inspiration - Doku provided it three minutes before half-time with an unstoppable curler into the top corner. But the Toffees improved markedly in the second half and got their reward with a deserved equaliser in the 68th minute. Thierno Barry reacted quickest to a backpass from Marc Guehi which sold Gianluigi Donnarumma short and, although the strike was initially ruled out for offside, the goal stood after a check. David Moyes' side were well on top and took the lead five minutes later courtesy of Jake O'Brien's towering header from James Garner's corner, before Barry slotted in his second from the excellent Merlin Rohl's square pass. Erling Haaland pulled a goal back with seven minutes remaining and, with time running out, Doku had the final say - cutting in from the left before unleashing another unstoppable finish into the far corner to leave Everton heartbroken.

Forest boss Vitor Pereira made eight changes with Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg against Aston Villa in mind, but two goals from Taiwo Awoniyi and another from Igor Jesus helped the visitors open a six-point gap over 18th‑placed West Ham in the relegation zone. Chelsea, meanwhile, scored a late consolation goal through striker Joao Pedro, narrowly avoiding an unwanted record of making it six league games in a row without scoring for the first time in the club's history. Their dismal afternoon was summed up when Cole Palmer missed a first-half penalty after academy winger Jesse Derry, 18, sustained a serious-looking head injury on his first senior start. This was Chelsea's first Premier League match since Liam Rosenior was sacked, with interim head coach Calum McFarlane - who guided the club to a 1-0 FA Cup semi-final win against Leeds United last week - taking charge for the first time at Stamford Bridge. Forest needed just two minutes to take the lead, with Awoniyi left unmarked to head home after winger Dilane Bakwa beat Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella and delivered a nicely floated cross. The same Forest pairing combined again in the 15th minute to win a penalty - Awoniyi was pulled back in the area by Malo Gusto as he attempted to reach Bakwa's cross, and Igor Jesus converted the resulting spot-kick down the middle. It came after a video assistant referee (VAR) check, with Gusto possibly lucky to have avoided a red card. Enzo Fernandez hit the post and Igor Jesus forced a good save at the other end, before Derry won Chelsea a penalty following a nasty head collision with Zach Abbott that led to a six-minute stoppage and both academy graduates being substituted. Palmer's low penalty kick towards the corner was then saved by Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels at full stretch. Chelsea introduced striker Liam Delap for Derry and returning defender Levi Colwill at half-time, but conceded again seven minutes into the second half when Awoniyi tapped in substitute Morgan Gibbs-White's low cross. Gibbs-White was later involved in another heavy clash with Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, with both players forced off with their bleeding heads bandaged. Joao Pedro also had a goal narrowly ruled out for offside late on, but then scored a spectacular overhead kick in stoppage time to end Chelsea's more than 550-minute run without a league goal that stretched back to early March. Forest remain 16th but have significantly strengthened their survival prospects, while Chelsea stay ninth and 10 points adrift of the Champions League places - with qualification a target set at the start of the season.

Barca need only a draw at the Nou Camp against their old rivals to be crowned champions. Vinicius Jr scored two second-half goals against Espanyol at RCDE Stadium, netting the opener following a one-two with Goncalo Garcia, and another from Jude Bellingham's backheeled returned pass. Vinicius had earlier hit a post with a deflected strike. Omar El Hilali was shown a red card for fouling Vinicius, but it was overturned by the video assistant referee (VAR). In the 97 years of La Liga the title has never been won in El Clasico. Real's victory over Espanyol means they avoid the dilemma of whether they would give Barca a guard of honour as champions before the game. Barca are 11 points above Real and could break the record for the biggest title-winning margin in history, which stands at 15 points from their 2012-13 triumph. If they win their final four games they will finish with a record-equalling 100 points - achieved by Real in 2011-12 and Barca in 2012-13. It would also give them the record for La Liga wins - 33. They have drawn only once. Real are facing only their second season without a trophy since 2009-10, having also failed to win anything in 2020-21.
