Sevilla overwhelms United and meets Juventus in the Europa League semifinals

The King of the Europa League is already in the semifinals. An imperial Sevilla got rid of an entire Manchester United team in a formidable way, which they beat 2-0 thanks to goals from En-Nesyri and Badé to reach the semifinals of the Champions League. Led in attack by Ocampos, the Andalusians had a great party in which they only needed a few more goals to close the tie more easily. [Check the results of the Europa League].

This Seville has nothing to do with the one from a couple of months ago. The arrival of Mendilibar has given character and aggressiveness to the team. All the players have improved their individual performance and this is noticed by the collective. Players who arrived in the winter market such as Ocampos and Badé have also been key to the improvement.

The pressure from Sánchez Pizjuán played an important role throughout the match. The Seville stadium lived a party from start to finish. It didn't take long for the local team to take the lead thanks to an innocent loss by Harry Maguire in the initiation zone. En-Nesyri took advantage of it to shoot De Gea with a dry shot that hit the post.

Manchester United appeared with a large number of casualties. Even Rashford had to wait on the bench due to some discomfort. The British found themselves outmatched at all times by the intensity of the Sevilla team, who hardly conceded dangerous arrivals. Until the break, Sevilla was better, overshadowing their rival and intimidating De Gea constantly. Ocampos made the second with a fantastic shot, but it was ruled out by VAR for offside.

At the restart the sentence came thanks to a goal from Badé from a corner kick. The center-back finished off a single miss but the ball ended up in the goal after hitting the crossbar. After the Frenchman's goal, Sevilla took a step back and it was Manchester who tried to get back into the tie, although they were barely able to generate chances.

With the British upside down, a mistake by De Gea led to Sevilla's third goal, En-Nesyri's second in the game, which served to close one of the biggest nights in Europe in recent times. The six-time Europa League champion is already in the semi-finals, where he will face Juventus, and he is looking forward to the final in Budapest.
