Europa League, Juventus: Benfica is the last obstacle before the final in Turin

The week of European cups, which yesterday saw Real Madrid overcome Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, ends today with the Europa League, where Juventus are hunting for the final which they would play at home in Turin. Conte's men, orphaned by Arturo Vidal but who recover Carlos Tevez, fly to Portugal, to Lisbon, where they will face the hosts of Benfica: on paper Juventus start as favorites, and still have the second leg to play at home in a week at the Stadium, which could be the first of two consecutive games played at home to reach the final triumph.

The other semifinal sees the Spanish derby between Valencia and Seville, with the second team lately in better shape and also trying to play for a place in the next Champions League: they are fifth, 6 points behind Athletic Bilbao. The Bianconeri's opponent will emerge from this challenge, should Juve reach the final.
