Juventus withstood late pressure from Sporting CP to reach the UEFA Europa League semi-finals for the first time since 2014 after a tight second leg in Lisbon.
The Serie A team had scored in the closing stages in Turin last week and doubled that 1-0 advantage within nine minutes. Sporting were unable to clear a Federico Chiesa corner and Adrien Rabiot made them pay with a close-range finish on the turn.
