Sevilla goes back to Juventus and will play the Europa League final

He Sevilla FC has got off the Turin Juventus with a 2-1 win in the second leg of the Europa League semifinals to aspire to their seventh title, a comeback sealed in extra time that Suso forced and Erik Lamela took advantage of, in the heat of the Sánchez-Pizjuán.

José Luis Mendilibar’s team carried the credo of the Basque coach until the final on May 31 in Budapest, against Roma, and competed as the owner of the tournament. The chevrons here are carried by Sevilla and not a Juve that came forward through Vlahovic past game time. A great goal from breast did justice and, in extra time, the Pizjuán celebrated again with the Coco lamella.

He did not leave goals in the first half, but he did leave a great match intensity. Juventus, in Seville territory due to the stage and the competition, demonstrated the hunger of their youngsters and the weight of their shirt to withstand the Andalusian attack. With the passion of the red in the stands, Mendilibar’s team repeated the start of Manchester United.

Both teams interspersed dominance and chances, but the local team was better on points and referee Danny Makkelie swallowed a clear penalty from Cuadrado to Óliver Torres just before the break. Rakitic repeated his recital in midfield, with personalized pressure and commitment from Bryan Gil and Oliver Torres.

After the break came the goals and another European chapter of a Sevilla that will look for seven out of seven in the final in Budapest. With the recovery above his team, Nervión extended the initial euphoria with dominance and arrivals. Juve took the ball off their shoulders while Sevilla lacked precision in the centers. Fagioli, who did not finish the first half due to injury, left the first visitor, even clearer in the corner immediately.

Gatti finished off Bono’s doll alone, demonstrating that Allegri’s men had their weapons despite having a defensive role in Pizjuán. Those of Mendilibar they regained possession, calmly looking for holes, although forced to the centers by band. Again, Navas did not find En-Nesyri, but finally he did find Ocampos. The Argentine’s low shot went half the ball off the line, after a save by Szczesny, and even before half an hour, Di María had a poorly used one-on-one as an Italian reply. Rakitic’s chances continued for a Sevilla with clear ideas, although Allegri’s commitment to Keane also worked.

The exchange did not stop until the discount, when Sevilla claimed a penalty from Cuadrado to Oliver, and neither with the start of the second half. Rabiot and Bremer each left Italian chances, a Juventus that made an effort to keep the local attack on the wings. En-Nesyri, who did not find a good shot until 90 ‘, did not exploit his moment, while Mendi looked for the hole inside.

Suso and Lamela were the changes for the Basque, after the mistake that cost Vlahovic 0-1. The seventh final moved away at times, with a Juve in a European drought but with the upper hand. Sevilla did not stop pressing and, in the steal above, Suso asked for the ball to send it to the squad (1-1) 20 ‘from the end. Those of Mendilibar wanted the leading role, biting without looking at the deposit, and they had a hit again.

Already in extra time, Chiesa threatened with the Italian goal but it was Lamela who scored the header, from Bryan Gil’s cross, definitive despite the fact that Allegri’s men sought the last goal as in Turin (1-1) playing with one more for the second yellow to Acuña. Two months with the Basque coach and Sevilla has no rival, climbing in the League after flirting with relegationand authoritarian again for Europe.
