West Ham, Fiorentina, Roma and Sevilla reach European finals – as it happened

I’m going for a lie down. Turns out that watching four at once is very tiring! I’ve just had a reader in my inbox complaining about it not being an actual minute-by-minute report. Sorry about that one, Bob.

A great night, though. West Ham reach their first European final since the Cup Winners’ Cup final in 1976. Woof! They will meet Fiorentina in the final.

You have to say that Sevilla deserved their win over the two legs against Juventus. They were the better side in Turin and showed great composure to get back into the match after Vlahovic’s opener. Both goals from Suso and Lamela were peaches.

Roma won it ugly against Bayer Leverkusen. I’m just pleased I wasn’t forced to watch that all night. But José Mourinho won’t care, and they have a chance to win their first European trophy since … last season.

That’s me, done. Thanks for all your emails and tweets. G’night!

So, the footy tonight.

European drama? Sure.

Premier League? Yep.

A shame, then, that everyone is talking about the League One play-off semi-final, where Sheffield Wednesday have come back from a 4-0 deficit in the first leg to win the second leg on penalties. Oh, Peterborough!
