What They're Saying
Sevilla manager Unai Emery (via UEFA): "We have to retain the belief we had in the match in Villarreal, but we have to understand that it isn't over yet. We have to compete from the first minute to the last. What we have done before doesn't mean anything now. We still have to play better than them. Our squad is strong. We have a lot of hope for this competition, especially since the winners get to play in the Champions League next season. We have to maintain Sevilla's good relationship with this competition."
Villarreal manager Marcelino: "We have 90 minutes and must put all our faith in getting through to the next round. Obviously, people think Sevilla are favorites, as they are the current Europa League holders and they had a good result in Villarreal."
