Eintracht Frankfurt is the last German club to be eliminated from the European Cup.

The Hessians lost the quarter-final second leg at home to Tottenham 0:1, after having established a good starting position with a 1:1 draw in London.

A penalty shortly before the break, which Dominic Solanke safely converted for the English side, made the difference. The penalty was taken by Brazilian goalkeeper Kaua Santos, who once again deputized for the injured Kevin Trapp. Tottenham's opponents in the semi-final will be either Lazio Rome or Bodö/Glimt.

In the other semi-final, Athletic Bilbao will face Manchester United or Lyon. The Basques decided the duel with Glasgow Rangers after the goalless draw in Scotland last week with goals from top scorer Oihan Sancet (45') and Nico Williams (80'). Athletic thus remain on course for the "home final", which would take place on May 21 at the San Mames.

Manchester United squandered a 2-0 lead in their home match against Lyon, which was refereed by Swiss referee Sandro Schärer. Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot scored for the English side before the break, Corentin Tolisso and Nicolas Tagliafico for the French side in the second half. As with Lazio against Bodö/Glimt, this meant that extra time was necessary.
