The gulf between these two teams.
Sevilla haven't really switched gears, but still comfortablly 2-0 up and have dominated.

1998 lost to Madrid by an offside goal
2003 lost to Milan on penalties
2015 lost to Barca
bad but not so bad
They're not. They're very far, and doing worse than england and italy this season as well
Jamie fecking Vardy. Get in.
Oooh, an away goal
First goal for Pjaca. Happy for him. He's gonna be good for Juventus.
Juve through
Jamie Vardy is having a party!
Vardy has pulled a game back. Makes it interesting now.
Finally, I was starting to get annoyed. No put this tie to bed.
Lovely goal, finally Vardy
Wow that goal changes things a lot. Away goal.
get in pjaca, fat walking cheque for 2020
Wow! Leicester are still alive.
Juve so fecking lucky 
Can't help but love that "Either you are first or you are a loser" mentality.
Four finals is a decent achievement, a bummer that they won none, but can't say that they are abysmal in Europe either, big difference between being second and eliminated in the round of 16, for example.
Erm yay or something. I thought they were literally going to lose 12 nil.
Lucky, wasn't even a throw in
Game over. 2-0 Daniel Alves.
2 great goals from Juve.
Literally, a bolt from the blue. Completely unexpected. Vardy goal. 2-1
That's juventus standard mentality. There's a reason they call CL the cursed cup
2-0 dani alves
One was lucky, tbf.
Sevilla 2-1 Leicester (Vardy)
Alex Telles what a complete retard. He deserves a big fine. This isn't portuguese refs, international refs follow the rules.
Great substitutions by Allegri
Gray needs to start for Leiceter
Porto 0-1 Juventus (Pjaca)
0-1 Pjaca
Pjaca scores within 5 minutes of coming on, Dani Alves 80 seconds. Allegri spot on.
Porto 0-2 Juventus (Alves)
0-2 Dani Alves
Leicester so lucky here.
Leicester digging in pretty well now.
They're better than Arsenal sure. But all of them finals lost - it doesn't make them a great side.
Juve need competition in Serie A to push them on.
When Leicester get relegated (and they inevitably will) I reckon a £20m-odd offer for Mahrez would force their hand to sell.
He'll hand in a transfer request and they'll want to get rid of his big contract and raise money for players who will be mentally there to fight for promotion. Also if they hold on to him, they risk him devaluating even further after a year in the Championship. Nobody will bid £30m+ for him, because they'll know Leicester need to sell.
At that cost you have virtually no risk. If he doesn't kick on after a year or two, he'd still be only 27 so you sell him for £10m-odd and recoup half of the cost. But if he kicks on.... There's still a good player in there, I can see it.

Vitolo close!
Great play by Sevilla there.
2-1 isn't that bad for Leicester tbh. I expected them to lose by a 2/3 goal difference.
Why don't Sevilla have shirt sponsors?
Another goal looks likely in the Sev - Lei tie.
Rami hits the bar. Seville should be at least 4 goals up.
