Following the conclusion of the quarterfinal second-leg matches on Thursday night, Olympiacos attacker Ayoub El Kaabi is still playing well and is currently tied for the most goals in the UEFA Europa League.
Remember how Manchester United defeated Lyon 5–4 to get to the semi-finals, and how Tottenham Hotspur defeated Frankfurt? Bodø/Glimt advanced after defeating Lazio in a penalty shootout, and Athletic Club defeated Rangers 2-0.
With seven goals apiece this season, El Kaabi and Bodø/Glimt’s Kasper Høgh are leading the scoring charts as the battle heats up, paving the way for an intriguing semi-final.
6 goals: Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray), Samu (Porto), Barnabás Varga (Ferencváros), Malick Fofana (Lyon), Václav Černý (Rangers), Youssef En-Nesyri (Fenerbahçe)
5 goals: Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), Iñaki Williams (Athletic Club), Rasmus Højlund (Manchester United)
The semi-final first-leg fixtures are set to take place on Thursday, May 1.
Meanwhile, UEFA has recognized standout performances in the Champions League by including at least two players each from Arsenal, Inter Milan, and Paris Saint-Germain in its Team of the Week.
