    We're still missing a big moment tonight I feel. A goalkeeper scoring the winner is the only thing the Champions League was missing.

    Chelsea 1-1 Eintracht Frankfurt (2-2 agg)

    Emerson finds Olivier Giroud, who controls the ball straight out for a goal kick. He wants a corner but it was good defending by Martin Hinteregger.

    Chelsea are hanging on a bit. Filip Kostic cross. Blocked. Danny da Costa cross. Blocked.

    Now Mateo Kovacic wins a free-kick. A chance to get the ball themselves.

    efultang Dang. This Arsenal lot really enjoy putting our emotions through the wringer, don't they!?

    OGIDIOMO Willian and Giroud should be replaced. Not contributing anything.

    andy_du_frain Frankfurt are itching for a goal here. Will it be Rebic, Kostic or Jovic?

    Valencia 2-2 Arsenal (3-5 agg)

    Valencia's two-goal scorer Kevin Gameiro is 32 today. Can he find a birthday hat-trick?

    Eintracht Frankfurt have been aggressive and they are playing with no fear. All of the chances have been at Chelsea's end and they have been top drawer since coming out for the second half.

    Arsenal bring on Henrikh Mkhitaryan for Mesut Ozil. There is a chance Mkhitaryan won't be able to play in the final because of Armenia's shaky political relationship with Azerbaijan.

    Chelsea 1-1 Eintracht Frankfurt (2-2 agg)

    Cesar Azpilicueta finds Olivier Giroud in the box but he can't wriggle free of his marker.

    Now Azpilicueta whips in a cross which Kevin Trapp parries and nobody is there to turn home the loose ball.

    Valencia still need three more goals.

    Oh hello. Could there be a comeback here? Rodrigo takes a shot, which hits Kevin Gameiro. He just about gets it under control at the third or fourth attempt, taking the ball past Petr Cech, and taps it home from a yard out.

    Chance for Willian as he gets the ball in space. Instead of shooting he tries to find Olivier Giroud, but all he ends up doing is rolling the ball into the arms of Kevin Trapp.

    I think Chelsea have been quite slow out of the gates since half-time and credit to Eintracht Frankfurt. They have moved the ball quicker and scored a deserved equaliser.

    Not that anybody every talks about the Europa League golden boot but Luka Jovic is now joint top scorer with Olivier Giroud on 10 goals.

    Ben: Lacazette & Aubameyang will definitely be playing Champions League next season regardless of the outcome tonight.

    Sam: Chelsea are looking brilliant behind the ball but shaky at the back, midfield is the beating heart.. N'Golo Kante who? Told you, David Luiz ran out of talent for a second.

    Shaun, Harrogate: Loftus-Cheek has everything, need to be building around him for the next few years.

    The message from Unai Emery at half-time would have been to go and get that killer goal. Alexandre Lacazette whips his right foot through the ball and puts it in the bottom corner.

    I don't think there is a better pair in world football than Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang up front together.

    But as Arsenal were scoring, Chelsea's hopes took a hit. This game would go to extra time as things stand. Olivier Giroud had an instant chance to put the Blues back ahead but slices a shot away from goal.

    I'm definitely not going to say game over. But Arsenal would need to have an even bigger collapse than Barcelona or Ajax now.

    Alexandre Lacazette (50 mins)

    Valencia need four goals now. Lucas Torreira picks out Alexandre Lacazette. His first touch maybe isn't the best but his next one is as he takes the ball away from a defender and smashes the ball past the keeper from 20 yards out.

    Valencia have got to come out of the traps like they did in the first half. It wouldn't surprise me if they get the next goal but I think the way Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have been working together, poses a real threat for Arsenal.
