Defending Champs Sevilla eye historic title
Warsaw (Poland): Sevilla can become the first side ever to win four Europa League or UEFA Cup titles when the holders face a Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk side playing in their first major European final on Wednesday. Moreover, victory would also secure direct qualification to next season’s Champions League having missed out by just a point to Valencia in the battle for fourth place in La Liga.
Unai Emery’s men have been rampant this campaign losing just once in 14 games and scoring 26 goals in the process. Dnipro, having already upset the likes of Olympiakos, Ajax and Napoli, are wary of the Spanish side. “We’ve studied Sevilla’s matches in Spain and Europa League thoroughly,” coach Myron Markevich said. “They’re very strong opponents. I consider Sevilla to be among Europe’s 10 strongest clubs,” he added.
