A crazy end to the match which announces a very hot return to Seville. Led by the Andalusians for more than an hour after Youssef En-Nesyri’s goal in the first period (26th), Juventus Turin snatched the draw in the last minutes of added time, Thursday, May 11, in the semi-final first leg of the Europa League (1-1). Entering during the game, Paul Pogba offered a decisive pass to Federico Gatti (90th + 7), from a delivery of the head, on a corner.

The “Old Lady”, who has not won a European Cup since the Champions League in 1996, is counting on the Europa League to save her season, while the specter of her withdrawal of points in the league resurfaces. But in the return match, the Bianconeri will move on the lawn of Sevilla FC, badly embarked on the championship but galvanized by a competition which it has already won six times.
