Europa League PREVIEW: Juventus v Sevilla
May 11, 2023

The Allianz Stadium is set to play host to an entertaining clash on Thursday night as Italian giants Juventus lock horns with Spain’s Europa League specialists, Sevilla.
Sevilla have won this competition four times in the last ten years, a record unrivaled by any other team. For their part, Juventus last won this event in 1993.
Juventus, who have been a dominant force in Italy in recent seasons have already seen Napoli claim this year’s Serie A title so any hopes of major silverware will come down to their performance in Europe. Under the guidance of their astute manager, Massimiliano Allegri, the Bianconeri will be determined to seize the opportunity presented by the Europa League to add some European glory to their illustrious history.
With a squad that boasts huge names like midfielders Adrien Rabiot, Paul Pogba, and Juan Cuadrado in the midfield and Dusan Vlahovic, Federico Chiesa, and World Cup winner Angel Di Maria in the forward line, this is a side that is loaded with experience and class.
However, Sevilla will not be pushovers. The Spanish outfit has an enviable reputation in European competitions, having lifted the Europa League trophy on multiple occasions. Their manager, José Luis Mendilibar, has built a resolute defensive structure that is complemented by swift counter-attacking play.
With veterans like Jesus Navas and former Barcelona man Ivan Rakitic in their ranks, this is a side that cannot be taken lightly. Those fans of the EPL will also recognize names like Alex Telles (on loan from Manchester United) Bryan Gil (on loan from Tottenham), Eril Lamela (formerly of Spus), and Rafa Mir (formerly of Wolves).
With attacking prowess, defensive solidity, and a rich history behind both clubs, this is a clash that promises to be an enthralling contest and which could realistically swing either way.
