    What's the story

    English giants Arsenal clinched a 2-2 draw against CSKA Moscow in the UEFA Europa League 2nd leg quarter-final encounter.

    Meanwhile, Atletico suffered a 1-0 loss in Lisbon but despite that they booked their spot in semis.

    Here is how the Europe League quarter-finals turned up.

    The English side had gone 0-2 down in the first half with goals from Fyodor Chalov and Kirill Nababkin.

    The visitors have reached their first ever Europa League semi-final.
