Rome, May 11: Jose Mourinho is set to take on his former player Xabi Alonso in the Europa League semi-final and the first leg at the Stadio Olimpico will take place on Thursday, May 11.

AS Roma have the opportunity to clinch back to back European titles having won the UEFA Conference League last season. They came back against the odds against Dutch giants Feyenoord in the quarter-finals and will fancy their chances to reach the Europa League final.

Roma, however, have struggled in recent weeks and are on a four-game winless run. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen have been utterly impressive under Xabi Alonso since the Spaniard took over earlier this season.

The former Xabi Alonso disciple continues to make waves in his first ever season as manager and reaching the Europa League final will be a phenomenal achievement for his youthful side.

Leverkusen overcame Belgian side Union St.Gilloise 2-5 on aggregate including a 1-4 away victory in the 2nd leg. They're currently in sixth in the Bundesliga table, and will be high on confidence.
