What They're Saying
Sevilla manager Unai Emery (via Inside Spanish Football): "We had been without European competition for two years before last season and we had hope from the very first minute to the last because of it. Now this time [after winning it], these feelings are a little harder to find. We can't afford to lose that because it's an important part of our identity. We want to remember it because the Europa League has made us very happy."
"We have to feel it and want it," Emery added. "For us, tomorrow [Thursday] is a special day because we're playing in the Europa League and because we want to continue experiencing this competition. And that's needed so the fans can enjoy it and see us win."
