Juventus captain Danilo says they're delighted seeing off Sporting CP to reach the Europa League semis.

Adrien Rabiot struck for the second-leg 1-1 draw last night as Juve progressed 2-1 on aggregate.

Danilo said, "I'm very happy with qualifying. It was our ambition and we deserved it thanks to two good performances. We were solid defensively and here I don't just mean the defenders, but also the more advanced players, who also helped in the defensive process.

"Except for one mistake of mine where we were lucky, we played a fair match, we were good. They [Sporting] like to play, they have a different organisation but we were 'bad' and we deserve to go through.

"Now we are up against Sevilla, another very strong team with a lot of history in the competition thanks to the titles won, but if we are at the level we have shown in the tournament, we have a good chance of reaching the final."
