Serbian Dusan Vlahovic, who had just come on for Moise Kean, opened the scoring for Juve (65′), but midfielder Suso left everything the same minutes later (71′) at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán stadium.
Already in overtime, Lamela took advantage of Bryan Gil’s left cross to score with a header and take Sevilla to the seventh Europa League final.
“It’s a night I’ll remember forever. It’s incredible to play here in front of this crowd,” said Lamela after the match.
The Spanish team, which since the arrival of coach José Luis Mendilibar has added eight wins in the last 12 games, returns to the Europa League final after three years, when it won its sixth title of the tournament over Inter Milan.
