A possible penalty for Sevilla in the 86th minute was also denied by the video assistant referee (VAR).

Fenerbahce missed the chance to reach the UEFA Europa League semifinals for the second time in their history.

Sevilla, the most successful club of the tournament with six titles, continued their path to a possible seventh trophy.
