The Europa League quarter-finalists are battling it out this week for a place in the last four. Manchester United have already booked their spot in the semi-finals following their win over Copenhagen on Monday night.
What are the Europa League rules?
The away goals rule is not being used in the Europa League quarter-finals.
This is because matches are being played as one-off ties in Germany.
If a game is level after 90 minutes, then a 30-minute period of extra-time is played.

If the tie is still level after extra-time, a penalty shootout-will take place to determine who progresses.
Normally in the knockout stages of the Europa League, ties are played over two legs - home and away.
In these games, the away goal rule would be in operation.
But due to coronavirus restrictions, this season's quarter-finals and semi-finals were rearranged as one-off matches.
