In a historic night for English football, Crystal Palace has advanced to their first ever European final after defeating Shakhtar Donetsk to reach the Conference League final. Palace secured a 2-1 victory in the second leg, winning 5-2 on aggregate, and will face Spain's Rayo Vallecano in the final held in Leipzig. This achievement marks a new chapter for the London club as they seek their first major international trophy.

The Europa League finals are also set, with Aston Villa delivering a masterclass 4-0 performance against Nottingham Forest to book their spot. They will face German side Freiburg, who narrowly reached the final after beating 10 man Braga. This sets up a highly anticipated clash between Premier League and Bundesliga representatives, with Villa manager Unai Emery reaching yet another European final in his storied career.

Off-pitch, drama continues at Real Madrid following a reported physical altercation between Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni during training. Valverde reportedly suffered a head injury that may keep him out of the upcoming Clásico against Barcelona. Meanwhile, in the Champions League, Paris Saint Germain and Bayern Munich have finalized their spots for the upcoming title showdown after grueling semifinal legs.
