In a highlight match in the second leg of the Europa League semifinals, which ended in the early morning of May 19, Beijing time, the favourites Juventus lost 1-2 to Sevilla FC after extra time, and were eliminated 2-3 on aggregate.
With the Europa League missing the final, coupled with the fact that Serie A, Coppa Italia and the Serie Super League have not won the title, Juve will definitely be "empty of the four" this season. This is the second consecutive season that Juve have not scored a title, which is indeed a humiliating record for the former Serie A powerhouses of the Bianconeri. The last time Juve experienced such a title drought was in 2009-11.
Not only is it difficult to find a title, Juve are also suspected of infighting after being out of the Europa League. Argentine veteran Di Maria refused to shake hands with his teammates after being substituted in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals and ignored manager Allegri.
Di Maria started the game and in the 27th minute, Di Maria wasted a great chance. After receiving a straight cut from Rabiot, he did not pass the ball to his teammate Keane Jr., but chose to pick and shoot higher than the crossbar. In the end, he wasted his chances and was substituted after only 64 minutes of playing.
The "angels" thought it was humiliating for Allegri to replace himself so early. So he shook his head when he was substituted, then dodged teammate Rabiot who tried to step forward to greet him, and Di Maria did not shake hands with Chiesa Jr. and ignored the manager Allegri, who was standing on the side, and walked straight past him to the bench.
Last summer, the 35-year-old Di Maria left Paris to join Juventus on a free agency, contributing just eight goals and seven assists in 37 games so far. As a World Cup winner, he has obviously not yet shown his due level at Juve.
