The first legs of the Europa League quarter finals took place on Thursday night with no shortage of action or talking points.
Barcelona are the favourites to win this season’s competition having truly hit top form under new coach Xavi Hernandez in recent months, with the Catalan giants taking on Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt. There was plenty of British interest too with both West Ham and Rangers in action, taking on Lyon and Braga respectively.
There was an enticing game elsewhere as German outfit RB Leipzig played out a 1-1 draw at home to Serie A high-fliers Atalanta. Mirror Football takes a look at the five talking points from Thursday’s games, with goals and red cards in the main games.
