Coach Ten Hag’s reaction when Man Utd faced Sevilla in the Europa League

“Sevilla is a team with a lot of achievements, we have to take note of that,” coach Ten Hag said in a press conference after learning the draw results that Man Utd will have to meet Sevilla in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

“It’s going to be difficult because they really have experience in the Europa League, they’ve won it many times. I don’t know the details of the opponent so I have to warn my team about that.

I think all the opponents at this stage of the Europa League are strong and you have to play your best football if you want to get past them, and that’s certainly true for Man Utd against Sevilla.” , the Dutch strategist emphasized.

According to the statistics of Opta, Man Utd have never beaten Sevilla in the previous 4 encounters in the past. In which, “Red Devils” lost to “Yellow Submarine” in a friendly match and 3 times in European Cups.

In the last meeting, Sevilla defeated Man Utd with a score of 2-1 in the semi-finals of the Europa League 2019/20.

However, the head-to-head statistics are for reference only, because in fact, Sevilla is in bad shape in La Liga this season when it is only 13th in the rankings and only 3 points higher than the 19th ranked team.

Meanwhile, Man Utd under Erik Ten Hag is no longer afraid of rivals from Spain when they beat Sociedad, Barcelona and Real Betis to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

If they overcome Sevilla, coach Erik Ten Hag’s army will meet Juventus or Sporting Lisbon in the semi-finals.
