2012/13 UEFA Europa League: Semifinal draw out

The draw for the Semifinals for the 2012/13 UEFA Europa League was carried out yesterday in Nyon, Switzerland. And there are some mouth watering clashes coming.

Reigning UEFA Champions League champions FC Chelsea face Swiss giants FC Basel, who have had some success against English sides in the last couple of years, be it Manchester United last season in the Champions League or Tottenham Hotspur in the last round of the Europa League.

In the other tie Turkish side Fenerbahce Istanbul take on Benfica Lisboa from Portugal to determine the other finalist.

The semifinal matches will be played on April 25 and May 2 with the final on May 15 at the Amsterdam Arena in the Netherlands.
