Sevilla Satisfied To Reach Europa League Final, Says Lopetegui

Sevilla Satisfied To Reach Europa League Final, Says Lopetegui

Sevilla head coach Julen Lopetegui has expressed his delight after his side reached the 2019/2020 Europa League final at the expense of Premier League side Manchester United.

Bruno Fernandes drew first blood for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men in the early stages of the game but the Red Devils were pegged back thanks to the former Liverpool man Suso, before Luuk de Jong netted the winner on the 78th minute mark to send Sevilla to yet another Europa League final.

Los Palanganas have now reached their sixth UEFA Cup/Europa League final, at least two more times than any other side in the history of the competition and will be hoping to lift their sixth trophy in the competition.

In an interview after the game, Lopetegui commended his players for their industry throughout the game and insists they are happy to crash United out.

"We are very happy and satisfied to reach the final. We've beaten a fantastic team,” the Spanish coach told reporters.

“No doubts the best United team of the past few years. We suffered especially in the second-half but we showed heart.”

"We thought it was possible. We ran a lot and were better. We're very happy to be in the final. Very happy for the supporters.”

“Recent times have been so difficult so it's nice to bring joy to people. We're enthusiastic to play in the final and win it.”

"Every change [substitution] we make has a real objective and idea. Changes were good because the players we brought in were good. We couldn’t get our head out of the water. We needed some height."
