Reciprocal summary of the quarter-finals of the Europa League: Sevilla - Manchester United 0:3 (Sport1)
It is forbidden to bet against Sevilla in the Europa League.
Three different coaches have already coached the Andalusian team this season, which is in 13th place in the Spanish league and at one point this season was a candidate for relegation, but when it comes to the second most important enterprise in Europe, it is an almost indomitable team.
Last night (Thursday) she qualified for the semi-finals for the seventh time in her history with a 0:3 home win over Manchester United, and all the previous times she reached the last four, she also won the cup.
Juventus will try to spoil her perfect balance.
For the Red Devils, Sevilla is already a bit of a black sheep: United has zero wins in five games against them, and for this relegation they can only claim themselves.
Of the five goals scored by the Spaniards in the two meetings, which ended with a total score of 2:5, two were own goals by the team from Manchester and two more came after serious mistakes by its players.
And that's not all: all of Manchester United's last six relegations from European establishments came against Spanish teams: Sevilla was responsible for this in 2018 (Champions League), in 2020 and this year (Europa League), Barcelona in 2019 (Champions), Villarreal in 2021 (European) and Atletico Madrid last year (champions).
By the way, Liverpool's last six eliminations in Europe were also against rivals from Spain, but in between they won the Champions League in 2019.
What a humiliation.

"Obviously, if we make mistakes like that, it's very difficult to win a football game. We have to improve, it's a must," admitted Manchester United coach Eric ten Haag.
"We didn't have our composure. Once you break the pressure there are spaces, but we didn't do it in the opening and it was clear how it should be done. We made bad decisions, we lost the battles for the ball and they had more passion and desire. It's a problem you can't run away from, but On Sunday we will have another opportunity to work on it. We will have to step up and show more character," he added ahead of the FA Cup semi-final that awaits his team against Brighton.
Ten Haah backed up David de Gea, who provided another weak display between the posts, while Manchester United are negotiating a new contract with him. "David is our goalkeeper for the long term," stated the coach, "he has kept the most clean sheets in the Premier League , and it should not be underestimated.
This number proves how much ability he has as a goalkeeper."
But Paul Scholes, the legend of the club's past and who interpreted the game on English television, thinks otherwise.
"You have to doubt De Gea. Ten Haag tries to build his attacking game by moving the ball from the defense and the goalkeeper, and De Gea may be a fantastic goalkeeper, but he is far from a fantastic footballer. One cannot help but wonder about his suitability for Ten Haag's United."
Robbie Savage also said that "De Gea has saved United quite a few times in the past, but tonight he delivered his worst game in the team uniform".
Scholes also criticized the rest of United's players, saying that "when there's pressure, they just collapse", focusing on the disappointing Anthony Martial.
"Every time there's an important game, he just doesn't have the heart to meet the standards of a club like Manchester United."
Either way, not surprisingly, the harshest criticism of Ten Ha'ah and United came from moderator and journalist Piers Morgan, an associate of Cristiano Ronaldo, who used the opportunity to settle an account.
"What a humiliation for United. Remember that over-the-top clown Ten Haag thought the smart move to do was to humiliate Cristiano Ronaldo and run him out of the club? Coward," tweeted Morgan.

On the winning side, coach Jose Luis Mandiliber said: "I didn't expect us to win by such a margin, I thought the game would be close and decided at the end. What did I bring to this team? Simplicity, I think. I'm not asking for strange things, simplicity is one of the most important things in football in my opinion. Of course it is One of the happiest things in my life, I have never come to such a thing. I hope this is not the last time."
The one who continued the tremendous scoring ability is Yosef An-Nasiri.
The Moroccan, who until the World Cup break allowed twice in 15 games in all formats, stands at 14 goals in 24 appearances since returning from the World Cup.
