    Victor Lindelof just saved what was a certain goal.

    Lindelof blocks the first shot and then the second. A double block.

    United trying to play out from the back is painful to watch. How do such expensive players have such a poor first touch and why are there so many poor passes? It’s bewildering.

    Richard, Austin TX

    Dara: Solskjaer was pilloried for sitting back and hitting on the break with lightning speed. All United do now is have improved possession stats by passing backwards relentlessly. I’d love to know the % of passes that go back.

    Tottenham 1-0 Bodo/Glimt

    Bodo/Glimt make a first foray into the Spurs half but the attack is cut out and the hosts can get on the break.

    A bit of sloppy play in the middle of the park gifts the ball back to the visitors.

  5. CLOSE!published at 20:21 British Summer Time 1 May

    Athletic Bilbao 0-0 Man Utd

    What. A. Block.

    Victor Lindelof has looked unsure in the opening stages but the United defender comes to his side's rescue with two great blocks.

    Alex Berenguer is denied after Inaki Williams is afforded so much space down the wing.

    Djurgarden 0-1 Chelsea

    Jadon Sancho plays a lovely ball across the box in to the path of Tyrique George but his shot from a tight angle goes wide.

    Marc Cucurella picks up the ball and has a shot but his effort goes narrowly wide of the post.

    Chelsea have settled into the game now and are starting to take control.

    Athletic Bilbao 0-0 Man Utd

    Apart from Alejandro Garnacho's disallowed goal, Manchester United have not shown too much in terms of an attacking threat.

    But Ruben Amorim will be reasonably pleased with what he has seen so far. United have weathered an early storm and have enjoyed 61.5% of possession.

    Spurs have got to finish this tonight, no sitting back, no passive football.

  9. 'Bodo/Glimt sorting themselves out'published at 20:18 British Summer Time 1 May

    Tottenham 1-0 Bodo/Glimt

    Rob Green
    Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Bodo/Glimt are just about sorting themselves out off the ball. I think they have worked out that if they let Rodrigo Bentancur have the ball they will be in less peril than if other players have it.

    Tottenham 1-0 Bodo/Glimt

    Considering Bodo/Glimt have a population of less than 50,000, there's a really strong contingent of yellow shirts in the bottom corner of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

    Brilliant for them.

    GOAL - Djurgarden 0-1 Chelseapublished at 20:15 British Summer Time 1 May

    Jadon Sancho (12 mins)

    Chelsea take the lead.

    Jadon Sancho chests the ball down and fires towards goal.

    Marcus Danielson is on the line but he can't prevent it going past goalkeeper Jacob Rinne.

    Things have settled down a lot since that early goal.

    Tottenham happy to just keep the ball.

  13. 'Really poor miss by Williams'published at 20:15 British Summer Time 1 May

    Athletic Bilbao 0-0 Man Utd

    Paul Robinson
    Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live at San Mames

    Inaki Williams has got to score. It's wonderful play on the left-hand side by Athletic Bilbao. He's got a free header and nobody's picking him up.

    That's a really poor miss.

  14. Betis into an early leadpublished at 20:14 British Summer Time 1 May

    Real Betis 1-0 Fiorentina

    Real Betis have taken an early lead over Fiorentina in the other Conference League semi-final.

    Abde Ezzalzouli's shot looked to have gone over the line after smashing down off the bar and was soon confirmed after a brief VAR check.

    Athletic Bilbao 0-0 Man Utd

    Where's United's defending?

    Alex Berenguer pings a lovely ball into the box for Inaki Williams who is totally unmarked.

    He cannot get his header on target! It flashes over the bar.

  16. The pitch is a great levellerpublished at 20:14 British Summer Time 1 May

    Djurgarden 0-0 Chelsea

    Nizaar Kinsella
    BBC Sport football news reporter

    This pitch is worse than even I expected. It really impacts the way the ball moves, causing it to slow the game down and longer balls don't roll on as you would imagine.

    It has perhaps levelled this match up between a team fifth in the best league against a team 11th in Europe's 20th best league, according to Uefa's official rankings.

    Both teams have had a shot apiece but Djurgarden looks better early on in perhaps the biggest game in their history.

    Chelsea are knocking the ball around nicely but they haven't troubled Djurgarden so far.

    It's comfortable for the home side.

    This is everything we expected it to be.

    It's fast and frantic. And it's being played against the backdrop of a ferocious atmosphere.

    One disallowed goal at one end, one fine save at the other.

    Rob Green
    Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It was a brilliant atmosphere before kick off and we were wondering how long the Spurs fans would stay with them if it started to go wrong. Well, that has gone out of the window now. They're jumping around in the stands.

    A lovely diagonal ball from Cristian Romero finds James Maddison, who has timed his run well but can't make a good connection with the ball and skies it over the bar.
