Chelsea and Arsenal booked their places in the Europa League final last night after beating Eintracht Frankfurt and Valencia. The two sides from London will meet in Baku on May 29, with the winner earning qualification to next season's Champions League. For Chelsea, they have already sealed that by claiming a top four place in the Premier League, so the onus is on Arsenal to get the win. As for the Champions League final on June 1, that to will feature two teams from England's top-flight in Liverpool and Tottenham. It's incredibly rare to see all four finalists come from the same nation, so rare in fact that it has actually never happened in the history of European football. Spain, Italy and Germany have all dominated the European football scene at one time or another down the years, but have never had all four finalists in the same year. In both the 2013/14 and 2015/16 seasons, Spain had three representatives in the two finals. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid battled in both Champions League finals, with Los Blancos coming out on top each time. And in the Europa League, Sevilla won both, beating Benfica and Liverpool in the finals - they actually won three in a row under current Arsenal manager Unai Emery. Spain have been the dominant force in Europe in recent years, with Bayern Munich in 2013 the last team not from the nation to win the Champions League. In the Europa League, Spanish teams have won five of the last seven titles, with Chelsea (2013) and Manchester United (2017) the only ones breaking the mould. However, after years of domination it looks like England may be set for another reign as the force of European football, just like it was in the early-to-mid 2000's. News Now - Sport News<doc-sep>England has become the first country to provide the four finalists for both European competitions in the same season after Chelsea and Arsenal made it through to the title match in the Europa League on Thursday. Chelsea defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 4-3 in a penalty shootout at Stamford Bridge, after a second straight 1-1 draw between the teams in the semi-finals. Eden Hazard converted the winning penalty, in what could be his final appearance at Stamford Bridge, after Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga saved two penalties. The Belgium forward has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid in the off-season after seven years at Chelsea. "I don't think about that," Hazard said. "I'm only thinking about winning something for this club and this squad. If it's my last game, I will try to do everything for this club to win a trophy." Arsenal's path to the final was more straightforward, beating Valencia 4-2 thanks to a hat-trick from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to complete a 7-3 win on aggregate. It adds up to a season of domination for English clubs in Europe, with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur reaching the final of the Champions League this week by overturning three-goal aggregate deficits at various stages of their semi-finals against Barcelona and Ajax, respectively. The Europa League final will be staged in Baku, Azerbaijan on May 30 (AEST) and will be followed by the European showpiece in Madrid on June 2 (AEST). Arsenal and Chelsea will play off for the Europa League title.

Unai Emery was a three-time winner of the Europa League with Sevilla, from 2014-16. Now he's got a chance of winning it again after becoming the first coach to get to the final of the competition on four occasions. Once again the Gunners relied on the strike partnership of Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, who also scored. Emery said: "I'm very proud of the players, of the supporters who are with us here tonight, and I think we deserve it. Story continues "I think the players have done well, doing all they can, and we can be I think, and every supporter the same, proud of all of Arsenal." The Blues and their under-fire manager Maurizio Sarri can now end the season on a high after already securing Champions League football next season, with a match to spare. Kepa, who was in goal when the Blues lost a penalty shoot-out to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final after refusing to be substituted, told BT Sport 3: "Penalties, it's a little bit lucky. Today we win, in the other final, we lose. "Always we prepare all the penalty shootouts and we are lucky today. "Wembley was (the) past, I learned, I say sorry to all the people. Today was another semi-final, we are very happy with the qualification to the final in Baku."<doc-sep>Arsenal will meet Chelsea in the Europa League final on May 29 while Liverpool will face Tottenham in the Champions League final on June 1 Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham have made European football history as the Premier League sides make up all four finalists in the Europa League and Champions League this season.

Last updated on .From the section European Football Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal will represent England in European finals this season English clubs have created European football history by taking all four final spots in the continent's two major competitions. Arsenal won in Valencia and Chelsea beat Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday to reach the Europa League final. That followed dramatic wins for Liverpool over Barcelona and Tottenham against Ajax in the Champions League. It is the first time all four finalists in Europe's top two competitions have come from one nation. There have only been two all-English finals before, with Tottenham beating Wolves in the 1971-72 Uefa Cup and Manchester United beating Chelsea in the 2007-08 Champions League. Spain had three teams in the finals of the two competitions in 2015-16, with Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid contesting the Champions League trophy and Unai Emery's Sevilla winning the Europa League. "In England the level is very high and the Premier League is the best championship in Europe," said Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri. Arsenal and Chelsea will meet in Baku, Azerbaijan - 2,468 miles from London - on 29 May, with a Champions League spot at stake for the Gunners, who could become the fifth English side to qualify for next season's competition. Chelsea are already assured of their place after cementing a top-four finish in the Premier League. Baku's Olympic Stadium has a capacity of 68,700 but Uefa has allocated only 6,000 tickets to each club, a decision Arsenal described as "disappointing", adding that it presents them with "extreme difficulties" external-link in how to allocate tickets". Tottenham and Liverpool will meet in Madrid on 1 June, with fans of those clubs also facing travel issues of their own, with direct flights from the UK reaching £1,300 and some airlines being accused of "profiteering". The Premier League clubs' achievements means there will also be an all-English Uefa Super Cup in August. That game will be played in Istanbul, Turkey.
