Europa League semi-finals see exciting first legs: Can Juventus bounce back?

Juventus have had an exceptional season and they have started to believe that they could win the Europa League trophy next month, with the final being held at their home stadium. In their way was Benfica, and the winner of this pair will face Sevilla or Valencia. Although both ties still fully revolve around their second encounter next week, the world has an inkling of how the Europa League final will shape up, and it's not good news for Juventus.

Juventus travelled to Portugal to take on Benfica, who many had tipped to win the trophy, and they found the game frustrating. Benfica were too good and grabbed the 2-1 victory, but Juventus still hold on to some hope, knowing they're now returning home with an away goal. Can Juventus progress, or will Benfica ensure their next two games will be played at Juventus' stadium, in what could be a strange turn of events?

La Liga has for a long while been considered the greatest league, and their Europa League success will not hinder that reputation at all. Sevilla welcomed Valencia in their all-Spanish encounter. Both teams have been a frightening proposition, and many couldn't split the teams either way. Sevilla travel to Valencia next week, and they made their home game count, easing their way to a 2-0 victoy.

It looks like it will be a Benfica vs Sevilla final, bit can Juventus and Sevilla ensure we do not receive the outcome we expect? Who will be the champions of Europe's second-tier competition?
