Arsenal defeated Chelsea in the last minute thanks to a goal by Havertz to reach the Carabao Cup final at Wembley, where they await either City or Newcastle.

And today... more cups

Valencia-Athletic and Alavés-Real Sociedad face off for a spot in the Copa del Rey semi-finals, which concludes its quarter-final phase tomorrow with Betis-Atlético de Madrid.
