More fascinating fixtures for football fans to sink their teeth into are on the way, as the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League get underway on Thursday.
Manchester United will go toe-to-toe with La Liga side Athletic Club after their dramatic comeback against Lyon in the quarter-finals.
Tottenham Hotspur will take on Bodo/Glimt in a must-win match for manager Ange Postecoglou in the other semi-final.
That is not all. The semi-finals of the UEFA Conference League will also get underway this week, with Chelsea travelling to Djurgarden and Real Betis set to host Fiorentina.
Some top attacking talent will be involved in the four fixtures, and as we enter the business end of these two competitions, it's time to look at the race for their respective golden boots.
Who is the top scorer in the UEFA Europa League?
Danish forward Kasper Hogh of Bodo/Glimt is in the driver's seat to win the UEFA Europa League top scorer award this season.
He is currently level with Olympiakos star Ayoub El Kaabi on seven goals, and is the only player in the top eight still involved in the competition.

Vaclav Cerny of Rangers, along with Malick Fofana, Victor Osimhen, Barnabas Varga, Samu Aghehowa and Youssef En-Nesyri are all level on six, but represent teams that have been eliminated.
Manchester United do still have two players in the race to finish as top scorer, though.
Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Hojlund are both level on five goals, and with The Red Devils set to play at least two more games, that pair are not out of contention yet.
Athletic brothers Inaki Williams and Nico Williams also both have five goals to their name ahead of the start of the semi-finals.
Who is the top scorer in the UEFA Conference League?
Afimico Pululu is the top scorer in the UEFA Conference League as things stand, but with Jagiellonia no longer in the competition, everything is still to play for ahead of the semi-finals.

He has eight goals to his name, but Real Betis' Cedric Bakambu is right behind him on seven.
Celje's elimination means the best Armandas Kucys can hope for is third, but with Chelsea duo Marc Guiu and Christopher Nkunku on six and five goals, respectively, he could drop down before the end of the month.
Fiorentina's Rolando Mandragora is also still in the race with five goals at this stage.
