Sevilla, with Argentines Éver Banega, Lucas Ocampos and Franco Vázquez, and Manchester United, with Sergio "Chiquito" Romero in goal, define one of the semifinals of the Europa League that is played in Germany, a single match and without an audience .

The match is played at the Stadio Koln, in the city of Colonia, from 4:00 p.m. (Argentine time), refereed by the German Felix Brych and televised by the ESPN 2 signal .

In the event of a tie in the 90 minutes, there will be an additional half hour and if the equality persists, it will be defined by shots from the penalty spot.

The two teams come from getting suffered victories against teams that in theory are below their level.

On the one hand, Sevilla reached the semifinals after beating England's Wolverhampton 1-0 with a goal on the hour from Ocampos, who took advantage of a precise cross from his compatriot Banega with a header.

On the other hand, Manchester United needed extra time against Copenhagen, Denmark. He just got 1-0 at 5 minutes into the first extra time thanks to a more than dubious penalty by Bruno Fernandes.

The winner will face the winner of the duel that Inter Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk of Ukraine will play this Monday, also from 16.
