    That was a borderline decision. Usually the referee rules in favour of the goalkeeper in these things. But not sure Cesar Azpilicueta did too much wrong.

    No VAR tonight.

    HUGE CONTROVERSY!

    Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta puts the ball in the back of the net and runs away to celebrate a famous winner.

    But it's ruled out.

    Eden Hazard's cross is held by Kevin Trapp. Azpilicueta nudges him and the keeper drops the ball onto the defender's shoulder and it ends up in the back of the net.

    The referee takes a while to make clear the goal has not stood.

    Frankfurt have only used two subs. I wonder if they're saving one for pens.

    Can you walk a game on penalties?

    A lot of you mischievously wondering if Maurizio Sarri might bring Willy Caballero (or try to) for penalties. But they've used all four subs (sadly).

    Speaking to BT Sport, Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech said: "I have no preferences who we play in the final. The team who manages to get to the final always deserves it. It would be a remarkable end to my career if I play a European final against my former team."

    On his performance: "With all my experience, I can compensate for the match rhythm with my preparation. The key is always how you prepare in training and I always behave the same whether I am starting or on the bench. I always feel confident I am ready to play. I enjoyed it when we scored the fourth goal because that was the moment i knew we were in the final."

    On his upcoming retirement: "You have days when you play well and you think you could continue but I think I have made the decision with a lot of thought. I could possibly go another two years but I would rather retire early than too late. I wanted to do it on my terms. The last dream was to play this European final and it has come true, now the dream is to win it."
