Gatti is still the man of Juve’s providence: his header in the 97th minute allows Juve to grab the draw against Sevilla. On the way back, however, the Bianconeri will need another test, who suffered from the speed of the Andalusians, to hope to reach the final. No back four or offensive trident, Massimiliano Allegri chooses the tested 3-5-2 for the first semifinal. In attack Vlahovic is still supported by Di Maria with Chiesa, Milik and Kean representing the options in the match in progress, Cuadrado and Kostic are the usual wingers with Locatelli and Rabiot in the midfield. ANSA.it Juventus-Seville 1-1 (0-1) Juventus (3-5-2): Szczesny; Danilo, Bonucci (16′ st Gatti), Alex Sandro; Cuadrado, Miretti (1′ st Church), Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic (1′ st Iling-Junior); Di Maria (25′ st Pogba), Vlahovic (16′ st Milik) (23 Pinsoglio, 36 Perin,… (ANSA) There is no Fagioli, but another former Next Gen, Miretti, to complete the Juventus central department Bonucci played in defense between Danilo and Alex Sandro: it was a special evening for the captain, who made 500 appearances for Juve against Sevilla Mendilibar left his old acquaintances of Italian football on the bench Alex Telles, Lamela and the Papu Gomez, launching striker En-Nesyri as an offensive reference in the 4-2-3-1.Ocampos recovers and plays from the first minute on the trocar with Torres and Gil, the pair Fernando-Rakitic mocking in front of the defense. Bounou, one of Morocco’s heroes in Qatar, was chosen between the posts, and in front of him Mendilibar placed Badé-Gudelj as central defenders and Navas-Acuna as full-backs.Moretti, collaborator of Turin manager Vagnati, was also in the stands of the Stadium, together to the grenade scouting chief Specchia Juve’s approach was encouraging, Kostic broke through on the left and created the first danger in the 12th minute with a diagonal left-footed shot that had nothing to do with the goal. On the other hand, however, the wildest is Ocampos, who engages Szczesny twice with as many headers and the Pole responds. The best opportunity for the bianconeri is for Vlahovic, who launched by Di Maria crashes into Bounou, even if the game was stopped due to offside. It’s the last call for the Bianconeri, the second part of the first part belongs entirely to Sevilla. In the 26th minute the advantage comes in the restart: Juve are totally unbalanced when Torres finds the corridor for Ocampos, in the middle of the area Gil makes a ‘veil’ for En-Nesyri and the Moroccan hits with a dirty shot that Szczesny takes against time . Allegri’s team suffers the backlash, the goalkeeper lifts Rakitic’s blow from outside for a corner and Juve closes the first 45 minutes without even a shot on goal, with Di Maria and above all Vlahovic decidedly in the shade. Allegri chooses to make two substitutions during the interval, removing Kostic (among the most positive during the first half) and Miretti to insert Chiesa and Iling-Junior and switch to a sort of 4-2-3-1 with the new additions in the trocar line together with Di Maria and Cuadrado and Alex Sandro lowered in the back four. The Englishman born in 2003 shows up with a tunnel in Badé, then in the 63rd minute finds Juve’s first shot on goal and commits Bounou. Bonucci raises the white flag due to a muscle problem, Allegri uses a slot for two substitutions and in addition to Gatti he also launches Milik for Vlahovic. The bianconeri still didn’t play, the Tuscan finished his substitutions already in the 70th minute with Pogba taking the place of Di Maria. Juve never get close to Bounou, in the end the bench lights up due to a contact in the Badé-Rabiot area with the Frenchman who has stud marks on his shin, but according to the referee Siebert doesn’t even consider seeing the episode again to the monitor. Defeat now seems inevitable, in the 96.32 minutes Juve are saved: corner of Chiesa, Pogba’s side and Gatti’s winning header, so the bianconeri reach an unexpected draw. Sevilla also protests for the goal that reaches beyond six points of recovery, every qualifying speech is postponed to next Thursday: the Budapest finalist will decide on Sanchez-Pizjuan.
