UEFA.com's Europa League team of the week

• Goalkeeper: Iago Herrerín (Athletic Club)
  

Can consider himself unlucky to be on the losing side at Sevilla after a brilliant display. Pulled off notable stops from Vicente Iborra and Kevin Gameiro to keep his side in the tie.

• Darijo Srna (Shakhtar Donetsk)

The right-back marked his record-breaking 486th game for Shakhtar with his 48th goal for the Pitmen and made two assists against Braga as the Ukrainian side marched into the semis.

• Defender: Ivan Ordets (Shakhtar Donetsk)

The 23-year-old was an assured presence at the heart of the defence alongside Olexandr Kucher to limit the impact of Yaroslav Rakitskiy's suspension.

• Defender: Timothée Kolodziejczak (Sevilla)
  

A scorer in the first leg, 'Kolo' was in heroic form again in the return, turning a goal-bound Aritz Aduriz effort off the line in the first five minutes.

• Midfielder: Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund)

His defence-splitting pass allowed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to double Dortmund's advantage at Anfield before Reus had looked to have ended Liverpool's hopes with a 57th-minute effort.

• Midfielder: Viktor Kovalenko (Shakhtar Donetsk)

Playing just behind the striker, the 20-year-old won a 25th-minute penalty, set-up Shakhtar’s second goal and registered their third against Braga.

• Midfielder: James Milner (Liverpool)

Instrumental in Liverpool's late rally, the England international was the architect of Dejan Lovren’s dramatic late winner as well as Philippe Coutinho's earlier strike.

• Midfielder: Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool)
  

Found the bottom corner after a one-two with James Milner before Mamadou Sakho nodded home his corner to give the Reds hope in the closing stages.

• Midfielder: Samuel Castillejo (Villarreal)

The 21-year-old capped a fine all-round display on the left-wing against Sparta Praha with a crisp strike from the edge of the box to as Villarreal progressed in style.

• Forward: Kevin Gameiro (Sevilla)

Converted Grzegorz Krychowiak centre to make it 1-1 on the night, Gameiro was rewarded for his gargantuan efforts with the winning spot kick in the shoot-out.

• Forward: Cédric Bakambu (Villarreal)

Displayed pace and power in a fine display. Took his competition tally to nine goals for the campaign with two strikes in the triumph at Sparta.
