On an increasingly frenzied night, when the ghosts of previous near misses under Mikel Arteta provided a part of the story, they made surely the boldest advance so far under their manager. It is the prospect of what comes next in the final against Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich that tantalises. It was a night when Arteta struggled to keep a lid on his emotions.

This image captures a Yellow-legged Gul just as it is about to take flight from a railing. The bird is a sub-adult, showing a beautiful mix of its mottled brown juvenile feathers and the clean white plumage of an adult.
In the background, the iconic silhouette of Mount Vesuvius rises majestically over the calm waters of the Gulf of Naples in Italy. The cool, blue tones of the dusk and the vast horizon create a serene backdrop for this spirited coastal resident.

AMSTERDAM (ANP) - Koning Willem-Alexander en koningin Máxima konden tijdens het 5 mei-concert in Amsterdam niet blijven stilstaan toen Rolf Sanchez aan het einde van de avond een mix van Spaanstalige muziek ten gehore bracht. De zanger sloot de jaarlijkse show af met latin-nummers als Vivir Mi Vida, Más Más Más en Danza Kuduro.
Vooral de van oorsprong Argentijnse koningin Máxima toonde haar enthousiasme voor het genre en bewoog ritmisch mee op de maat van de muziek. Het optreden werd afgesloten met vuurwerk, waarna alle artiesten het podium betraden om het traditionele slotnummer We'll Meet Again van Vera Lynn te zingen. Ondertussen stapte het koningspaar op een rondvaartboot, terwijl ze al zwaaiend en zingend de Amstel verlieten.
Eerder op de avond zongen de koning en koningin vrolijk mee met het nummer Somebody to Love van Queen, dat werd uitgevoerd door The Dutch Tenors. Daarnaast waren er optredens van onder anderen Edsilia Rombley, Roxeanne Hazes en Acda en De Munnik. Tineke Schouten en Splinter Chabot presenteerden de avond.
