Spain certain of a place in final
Spain is guaranteed a place in the Europa League final after Sevilla and Valencia were drawn against each other in Friday's draw for the semifinals.
The winner will play Benfica of Portugal or Juventus of Italy, who will dispute the second semi-final.
Valencia, winners of the 2004 UEFA Cup, made a sensational comeback against FC Basel of Switzerland this week to reach the semifinals.
Paco Acacer hit a hat-trick on Thursday as Valencia beat Basel 5-0 to overcome a three goal deficit from their quarter final first leg.
Juventus, UEFA Cup winners a record three times, will take on Portugal's Benfica who have not claimed a European club title since winning the European Cup two years in a row in 1961 and 1962.
The semifinals will be played on April 24 and May 1.
