Sevilla already have the sixth

Sevilla did it again. They won their sixth Europa League against a great rival, Inter Milan, embodying their wonderful reality in a historic century. In the year of the pandemic, after incredible suffering, the Andalusian team once again made their fans happy to become great, very great, in Europe. The tears of Jesús Navas, the eternal captain, after the conquest of the sixth represent the spirit of an indomitable team, which has competed in an exemplary manner in this tournament. "Nobody wants her like we do." Thus read a banner in the Sevilla dressing room, which honored this motto with a triumph in a final in which he experienced all kinds of misfortunes, from which he always recovered. Lopetegui's team overcame all the inconveniences to reign in their favorite tournament. First by tracing Lukaku's goal; then knowing how to temper the spirits of a brave and electric Inter; finally, performing with a spectacular job that ended up disrupting Conte's team. And of course, the doses of fortune from a group that surpasses itself every day were not lacking. Bono made a vital save to Lukaku with the 2-2 and Koundé still took out a shot from Alexis Sánchez under the sticks. Nothing can with this Sevilla and its magical energy in the Europa League. Lukaku, who had driven Diego Carlos crazy, put a Chilean ball from the Sevilla player into his goal. Against that there is no team that can.

Surrendered each one to their arms, Sevilla and Inter provided a vibrant final. Conte's team is lethal in the transition after robbery and the Andalusian team competes in an incredible way with more ball possession and depth on the wings. Inter simplifies the game in an exemplary way. In three touches he stands in danger in the rival area thanks to a spectacular speed in his movements, culminating in the careers of two forwards in great shape, in the case of Lautaro and Lukaku.

It shouldn't have been surprising that the final opened very soon. Sevilla did well, but were surprised in a counterattack organized by Barella that left Lukaku in the race with Diego Carlos. The first ball divided between the two physical marvels ended with a penalty from the Sevilla central defender, too impulsive before the Belgian's deployment.

Lukaku scored from eleven meters. If Inter believed that the game was making them sweet, they soon realized that this thought was a mistake. Sevilla did not break down. Before the deployment of Inter he used his weapons with intelligence. That is, control of the ball to avoid dangerous losses and balls to Navas and Ocampos, two real knives in their respective bands. Sevilla's competitive poise is scary. Navas assisted De Jong, who achieved the equalizer with a move to the near post that rendered the defense of three Inter centrals useless. The Dutch forward thanked the ownership that Lopetegui offered him. And twice. Turning the crash into a wonderful exchange of blows, a foul by Banega was finalized in an unappealable way by De Jong.

Sevilla had come back before the astonished face of Inter, who had claimed a penalty from Diego Carlos, on his darkest night. The Brazilian committed a foul on Lukaku and Brozovic put it in the cinema in the area. Nobody prevented Godín's shot, which made it 2-2. Sevilla were still standing before a rival with a formidable punch.

Lopetegui was very smart. His team took a step back in the second half to avoid the exchange of blows in the first half. The final, until then electric, stopped. Inter, with fewer spaces to run, suffers more. Sevilla protected themselves. Less came, but more controlled. Only in one action Lukaku was able to surprise the Andalusians, but then Bono's star shone, making a stop to the tireless Interista forward.

Although for a star, that of this Seville with its fetish competition. Navas, in her umpteenth start, had caused a foul on the right side. The ball, cleared by Godín after Banega's hit, reached Diego Carlos. The center-back, lousy all night, invented a scissor shot that Lukaku ended up getting into his goal. Inter's most accurate striker (55 goals this year) executed his team. The spell of the Andalusian team in its competition has no limits.
