The Europa League semi-finals draw took place in Nyon, Switzerland this afternoon and here are the details of the draw as the remaining four teams battle it out for the prestigious European honour.
“I think that it was more important to have him fresh for the last I don’t know how many minutes”.
“Obviously, I don’t know what he’ll ask from the players tactically”, Fabregas said. But it was a bitterly disappointing evening for PSG coach Laurent Blanc, who lost Thiago Motta to injury and has now seen his team eliminated in the quarter-finals four seasons in a row.

The former Manchester United defender brushed off questions about the surprise decision to start with a 3-5-2 formation, but conceded his side “fell short across the board” in the last-eight tie.
The Daily Express quote Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic as confirming he has received offers from the Premier League, as he approaches the expiration of his contract with the Ligue 1 giants.
“We haven’t won any trophies this season but we want to win as many games as we can and prepare to lift trophies again next season”. It’s always the same.
“We are really happy about the result but it’s only one game so we have to get back to reality now”. That’s attractive, of course, but I want to advance.
“The best thing now is to move on and think about next year”.
“We were not clinical enough, we were not efficient enough and we paid the price by failing to qualify”. If it had gone well, nobody would say anything, and now people will say we gave it away. “I think he fits in very well with Manchester City’s footballing style”. Tonight we’re so disappointed. “We will try to do everything to reach the final”.
