Juventus will travel away to Spain and face Sevilla at the Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan on Thursday evening as both teams fight to secure a place in the Europa League Final.
The Rojiblancos won 3-2 against Inter in the 2020 final while the Bianconeri would be making their first final appearance in the Europa League era. The last time the La Vecchia Signora featured at the pointy end of the competition was when it was known as the UEFA Cup and they lost 2-1 on aggregate to fellow Italian side Parma.
The pair drew 1-1 in the first leg of this Europa League semi-final fixture, and Juventus needed Federico Gatti to come off the bench and equalise in injury time. After scoring in the quarter-finals against Sporting CP and then against Sevilla in Turin, can the centre-back emerge as a hero again for La Vecchia Signora in Andalusia?

Both teams will have some notable absentees for this crucial match. Juventus will miss Mattia De Sciglio due to a knee injury while muscular injuries rule Paul Pogba and Leonardo Bonucci out of this second leg clash.
Meanwhile, Sevilla will miss Suso and Marcao with muscular injuries, and Tanguy Nianzou is still struggling with muscular discomfort. Lucas Ocampos came off injured in the first leg but he should be fit enough to feature for the Andalusians in some capacity on Thursday night.
