It was a monumental week of football, full of comebacks, drama and great individual performances.
Liverpool and Tottenham did the impossible and both came back from 3-0 aggregate deficits to book a place in the Champions League final, while Arsenal were brilliant in Valencia and Chelsea needed penalties to set up another all-English affair in the Europa League final.
That is not forgetting Manchester City putting one hand on the Premier League crown, way back on Monday, with Vincent Kompany's brilliant goal.
