Juventus, the storied Italian club from Turin, has contested 15 home fixtures in the Europa League since 2009 and has never tasted defeat on their own ground in this competition. Across those visits, they have produced eight draws and seven victories, underscoring a resilient home record in Europe’s second-tier continental tournament.
Since 2009, Juventus has established a reputation for solid European performances at home. The club has balanced results, with a string of draws and wins that reflect careful game management, strong defense, and the pressure that comes with playing in front of enthusiastic supporters at their stadium in Turin.
In the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals, Juventus faced Sevilla, and the match ended in a draw in the Spanish side’s favor as the balance was tested in another high-stakes European duel.
The Turin encounter on 11 May concluded with a 1-1 scoreline, leaving the tie poised for a decisive second leg. The atmosphere was electric as both teams carved out chances and pressed for the crucial away goal that could tilt the semi-final, and possibly the tie, in their favor.
The scoring in the match came from Sevilla’s Youssef En-Nesyri, who found the net in the 26th minute, giving the visitors an early lead and signaling a tough challenge for Juventus to overturn after the break.
Juventus’s equalizer arrived late in extra time when Federico Gatti struck in the 97th minute, a decisive moment that kept the home side hopeful and ensured the aggregate score remained tight heading into the second leg.
The second leg to decide who would advance to the Europa League final was scheduled for 18 May in Seville, promising another gripping confrontation between two European heavyweights.
The ultimate final of the tournament is slated for 31 May at the Puskás Ferenc Stadium in Budapest, Hungary. The venue, designed to accommodate 65,000 spectators, opened in November 2019 and is among the modern stadiums used for the 2020 European Championship, bringing a fresh and vibrant setting to the continental finale.
Massimiliano Allegri, the former Juventus coach, commented on the draw with Sevilla, emphasizing the resilience and competitive spirit shown by his squad in a tough European assignment. His remarks highlighted how the team balanced pressure and poise, keeping the tie in balance as the decisive leg approached.
