But in other ways, this could also be a surprise again, especially for the Europa League, there are always some surprises that often occur if you look at the previous season.
Juventus' current condition is the same as Arsenal's previous condition which was the favorite, but that is not a real guarantee either for them to win easily.
The hope is that they win but this will not be an easy game for them especially with Sporting's defense against Arsenal being really good.
I think Juventus will be one of the teams that will make the Europa league competition even more interesting because of the uniqueness they are facing right now. Judging from the quality of the two teams, of course Juventus has a squad filled with several well-known players who have the best quality on the field. Juventus have Di Maria, Vlahovic and Pobga on the front line but this trio has not been able to show their aggressiveness this season because among the three of them Pogba has had to be absent for a long time due to an injury that has come to him.
Di Maria performed well in the Europa League because in the 3 matches he played, Di Maria was able to contribute 4 goals which made Juventus advance to the quarter-finals. For the first leg, Juventus will allegedly win because they are playing at home. allegri must be able to bring a trophy for juventus this season maybe the europa league is the target.
With the current composition of players, Juventus are actually quite relied on for the Europa League but the problem remains that even if they win now against Sporting, the conditions are clearly Manchester United because I still feel that Manchester United will also win and they will destroy each other in the semi-finals.
It's a shame because if this possibility happened then this would have been an ideal final but it has to be a semi final. But if they can get past that then the chances of winning are even greater and it is likely that one of them (Juventus and Manchester United) can win it.
