The Theater of Europa Dreams, Scandinavian delight, stellar Spaniards, and an English sweep - Europa & Conference League Quarterfinals, 2nd Leg

We officially have our 8 semifinalists across our two tournaments, and we had some doozies. In the Europa, both Manchester United and Tottenham saved their seasons with victories - United dramatically so, scoring 3 late extra time goals to stun Lyon. Athletic Club moved one step closer to hosting the final in their own building, and the little club that could, Bodø/Glimt, survived a penalty shootout in Rome to advance further than any Norwegian side before them. The historic Scandinavian supremacy continued in the Conference, where Djurgarden overcame 10-men Rapid in extra time. Elsewhere, Fiorentina did their normal schtick, squeaking past a wonderful Celje, and Chelsea and Betis advanced with varying degrees of ease. We recap all the games and drama, debate the new favorites in each competition, and say goodbye to some of our favorite underdogs - Celje, Jagiellonia, and Legia included. All that, plus a surprise cheers to Mr. Postecoglou! Against all the odds, we're still loving Big Ange instead.
