Manchester United has easily reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League. A week after the 4-1 home win, the record English champions also won the round of 16 second leg at Real Betis Sevilla 1-0 (0-0).
England international Marcus Rashford scored the decisive goal with a brilliant long-range shot in the 56th minute.
Feyenoord Rotterdam celebrated a smashing victory. The league leaders from the Netherlands outclassed Shakhtar Donetsk 7-1 (3-0) after there had been a 1-1 draw against the Ukrainians in Warsaw a week ago.
The two-goal scorers Oussama Idrissi (49′, 60′) and Orkun Kökcü (24′, 38’/penalty) shone in Rotterdam. Santiago Gimenez (9th), Alireza Jahanbakhsh (65th) and Danilo (67th) were also successful.
The only “nuisance” for Feyenoord: Because Kevin Kelsy (87th) scored for Donetsk shortly before the end, Rotterdam missed the record victory in the Europa League.
The Dutch have instead shared the top spot in this statistic with Olympique Lyon, who also defeated AZ Alkmaar 7-1 in 2017.
Record winners FC Sevilla progressed after the 2-0 first leg win against Fenerbahce Istanbul despite the 0-1 (0-1) away defeat in the second leg.

The round of eight will be played on April 13th and 20th, with the semi-finals on May 11th and 18th.
