A semi-final to save his season. As the specter of its withdrawal of points in the league resurfaces, Juventus are betting on the Europa League to regain a place in the Champions League next year. Following a mild run so far (Nantes, Friborg and Sporting), the Bianconeri face their toughest opponent in the competition, Sevilla, Thursday May 11 at 9 p.m. at Juventus Stadium.

However, Sevilla FC is far from being at its best this season. Badly embarked in the championship and flirting dangerously with the bottom of the table, the Andalusians have made a spectacular recovery. The latter allowed them to give their all in a competition they love and which they have already won six times. After having taken out, not without difficulty, PSV, Fenerbahce then Manchester United, here is a new challenge to reach a seventh final in the 21st century.
