Villarreal stunned the Dutch league leaders with goals from Nilmar (two), Carlos Marchena, Borja Valero and Giuseppe Rossi. Twente pulled a late goal back through Marc Janko to give them a glimmer of hope for the second leg.
Newly-crowned Portuguese champions Porto were also 5-1 winners as they crushed hapless Spartak Moscow at Estadio do Dragao.
A hat-trick by Falcao guided Porto to the emphatic win which, barring a miraculous comeback, all but ensures the Portuguese side of their place in the final four.
