Erik Lamela propelled Europa League specialists Sevilla into the final once again with a 2-1 victory over Juventus on Thursday, sealing a 3-2 aggregate triumph in a gripping clash.

Lamela headed home in extra-time to complete an impressive comeback for the record six-time winners of the competition, who will face Jose Mourinho's Roma in Budapest on May 31 after they edged past Bayer Leverkusen.

Dusan Vlahovic fired visitors Juventus ahead in the second half, two minutes after coming on as a substitute, but Suso smashed home from outside the area to take the game to extra-time.

Lamela connected perfectly with Bryan Gil's cross in the 95th minute to delight the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, and Sevilla held on to reach the final for the first time since 2020.

"A lot of things went through my head, good moments, bad moments. It was a unique moment," Lamela told Movistar.

"Now we are a step away, it's a great opportunity. It's a night I will remember forever, it's something incredible to play here, in front of all these fans."

Juventus failed to set up an all-Italian final against Roma, but Italy still has with one representative in each of the three European finals.

Inter Milan reached the Champions League showdown against Manchester City by seeing off rivals AC Milan on Tuesday, while on Thursday Fiorentina beat Basel to reach the Conference League final where they will face West Ham.

Defeat is concerning for Juventus, who are second in Serie A but braced for a potential points deduction which could knock them out of the top four. Winning the Europa League would have been an alternative route to Champions League qualification.

Massimiliano Allegri's side, without the injured Paul Pogba, were significantly better than in the first leg but fell short.

"You have to put them in the back of the net when you have the chances," Allegri said.

"The boys played a good game, but it was a European semi-final, we had to give a little more."

He said his young Juventus side paid the price for their lack of experience compared to Sevilla. "It's a team that lacks experience at international level, these are physical matches, which require a lot," he added.

"Being with your childhood team, living each game and another final now, is incredible, and you have to enjoy it," said veteran Sevilla defender Jesus Navas.

"The team was impressive, we gave everything, and the fans, they deserve everything."

Roma through

Jose Mourinho's Roma remain on track for a second European trophy in two seasons after a goalless draw at Bayer Leverkusen sent them through to the Europa League final 1-0 on aggregate.

The Europa Conference League holders created little in attack but defended doggedly, as the increasingly frustrated home side peppered their goal in search of an equaliser.

The visitors held on through eight minutes of added time and will face six-time winners Sevilla in the final in Budapest on May 31.

Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini told Sky Sport Italia: "There are many things which Roma can and must improve, but as a true group, as a family, we have succeeded in this small feat."

Leverkusen midfielder Kerem Demirbay accused Mourinho of using "ugly" defensive tactics.

"It's a shame that in a semi-final at such a high level that this type of play can be rewarded," he told Germany's RTL. "They made things very ugly at the end."

Roma came into the game with a narrow 1-0 lead, thanks to a second-half goal from Rome-born midfielder Edoardo Bove in the first leg.

Mourinho has stayed true to the defensive tactics for which he is known this Europa League campaign -- Roma conceded just three goals in eight knockout games on the way to the final.

For Roma, who are six points off fourth spot in Serie A with three games to play, the victory not only means a shot at a maiden Europa League title, but also a chance at making next year's Champions League.

Despite the elimination, Leverkusen's short-term future looks bright, with Alonso, who has lifted Leverkusen from the relegation spots to a European semi-final since taking over late last year, declaring he would be at the BayArena next season.
