Everton crashed out of the Europa League following their 2-5 humbling by Dynamo Kiev in their last-16 second-leg tie in Ukraine, thus ending England's last remaining team's hopes of advancing to the quarterfinal round.

The week also saw the top Premier League sides Manchester City and Arsenal eliminating from the Champions League as well.
