Previous meetings • The sides' only previous UEFA meeting came in the preliminary round of the 1957/58 European Champion Clubs' Cup; in what was both teams' first tie in European competition, Satur Grech's Sevilla beat Otto Glória's Benfica 3-1 at home, progressing with a 0-0 draw in Lisbon. • The teams in Seville on 19 September 1957 were: Sevilla: Busto, Romero, Campanal, Valero, Ramoní, Herrera, Iborra, Arza, Pepillo, Pepin, Pahuet. Benfica: José Bastos, Ângelo Martins, Calado, Pegado, Serra, Alfredo Abrantes, Palmeiro, Coluna, Águas, Caiado, Cavém. • Vicente Pahuet, who scored the opener in the first leg, said: "When games finished then, the teams ate together. That day was great. I'm not a handsome man, but the club directors were all coming up to me saying, 'Oh, Pahuet, you are just gorgeous.'" • For the return fixture on 26 September, in which Sevilla goalkeeper José Maria Busto put in a star performance, José Martins replaced Caiado in the Benfica lineup, while Sevilla fielded Manuel Ruiz Sosa, Arsenio Iglesias and Lorenzo Martínez in place of Ramoní, Arza and Pepillo. • Sevilla beat AGF Aarhus in the first round but lost to Real Madrid CF in the quarter-finals, going down 8-0 in the Spanish capital before a 2-2 home draw. • Since they met Benfica in their debut European campaign, a tile bearing the Eagles' crest features in the façade of Sevilla's Ramon Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium. • Sevilla have played 16 UEFA games against Portuguese sides, including four this season; they won 2-1 away and drew 1-1 at home against Estoril Praia in the group stage, then eliminated FC Porto in the quarter-finals, losing 1-0 away before triumphing 4-1 in Spain. In total, their record in those 16 games reads W8 D3 L5. • Benfica have played 22 games against Spanish sides in Europe with the record W5 D7 L10. They have not won in their last 14 games against Spanish opponents (D6 L8) since a 2-1 victory at Sevilla's city rivals Real Betis Balompié on 29 September 1982 – although their only two European final victories have come against Spanish sides. • This is Sevilla's first competitive game in Turin, but Benfica have played Juventus at all three of their successive homes; they won 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in the 1967/68 European Cup semi-finals, lost 3-0 in the 1992/93 UEFA Cup quarter-finals at the Stadio Delle Alpi, then eliminated this season's final hosts with a 0-0 draw at Juventus Stadium in the 2013/14 semi-finals.
