Roma needed a late goal and extra time to fell Feyenoord but it got the job done as Jose Mourinho continues to etch himself into I Lupi lore, earning a semifinal meeting with Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League.

Over in the Conference League, West Ham battered Gent in the last eight and now face AZ Alkmaar in the semifinals as the Hammers can fully focus on European glory after picking up some big Premier League wins in recent weeks. Basel and Fiorentina square off in the other Conference League semi.
