Sevilla v Shakhtar Donetsk background

A third successive UEFA Europa League final is seemingly within Sevilla FC’s reach as they welcome FC Shakhtar Donetsk in their semi-final decider.

Previous meetings
• Kevin Gameiro’s penalty earned Sevilla a 2-2 draw in Lviv; the holders took an early lead but trailed 2-1 at the break.

• Juande Ramos’s Sevilla overcame Shakhtar in dramatic fashion in the round of 16 en route to lifting the 2006/07 UEFA Cup. After a 2-2 draw in Spain, Sevilla goalkeeper Andrés Palop scored at the death to make it 2-2 in the return leg, Ernesto Chevantón eventually winning it for the visitors in extra time.
