One slot for the Europa final is already filled. This leaves space for sides Inter Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk to battle it out in the Europa last four. The match schedules at Dusseldorf on Monday with kickoff at 8 pm.
Any side that comes off Dusseldorf a champion will proceed to the Europa Finals against side Sevilla. Sevilla edged outside Manchester United in the last four in a shocking 2-1 victory making it their sixth final in the competition.
Inter Milan have had a fair share of struggles in the Europa Competition with half their opponents either Spanish or German this season. However, Antonio Conte manages to show the impressive stature of his side.
Conte is making up for their Champions League exit at the hands of Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona. With both sides dropping from the Champions League race, Conte might have the last laugh with a Europa title to his name.
Shakhtar Donetsk failed to make it to the Champions League knockout stages. However, the Ukrainian giants responded with impressive wins of Benfica, Wolfsburg and Basel respectively in the competition.
The side benefits from securing another race in the Champions League this season finishing off first in their league. Inter Milan will prove a hard nut to crack for the side, but their back to back wins will be enough motivation.
