A Juventus will have a heavy confrontation this Thursday for the Europa League. The Italians hosted Sporting for the first leg of the quarterfinals. On the eve of the duel, lateral Danilo analyzed the opponent and asked the team to pay attention during the first 90 minutes.
“Tomorrow it will take the best Juventus. Sporting eliminated Arsenal, the current leaders of the Premier League, which proves their worth. We must also be aware that not everything is decided tomorrow, it’s just the first game. At this stage of the season there may be some fatigue, the difference will be in who maintains the same attitude”, he said.

The Brazilian also commented on the extension of his bond with Juventus, which now runs until June 2025. Danilo is now an absolute starter in the team chosen by coach Massimiliano Allegri and has been captain of the team in recent matches.
“This is my fourth season here. Time passes quickly and I have enjoyed every moment, even the most difficult ones. There has always been a good synergy since we first spoke about the renewal. I can say that I chose with my heart”, he said.
The first leg against the Portuguese will take place at the Allianz Stadium, in Italy, at 4 pm (Brasília time). The return is scheduled for next Thursday (20), at Estádio José Alvalade, in Lisbon. Juventus has already won the Europa League three times, while Sporting has just one runner-up in the competition.
