The Europa League is second only to the Champions League, why do some people jokingly call it the "Sevilla" Cup?

What kind of final is more interesting? Some people say a strong dialogue, some people say a dark horse counterattack, and some people say a goal battle (regardless of the team). Everyone has their own ideas in their mind. At least in recent years, the Europa League finals have been in line with everyone's expectations. The Europa League is also called the Sevilla Cup

UEFA has officially confirmed that the winner of the Europa League this season will directly qualify for the Champions League next season. Since then, the Europa League final must feature a team that has not qualified for the Champions League. The motivation to qualify for the Champions League by winning the championship makes the team more competitive and more interesting to the fans. Such a final is more in the interest of many parties.

Sevilla (not qualified for the Champions League) 3-1 Liverpool in the 15-16 season

Manchester United 2-0 Ajax in the 16-17 season, neither team qualified for the Champions League

Atletico Madrid 3-0 Marseille in the 17-18 season (not qualified for the Champions League)

Chelsea 4-1 Arsenal in the 18-19 season (not qualified for the Champions League)

Will this situation continue this season? Although everyone was optimistic about Manchester United and Inter Milan competing for the championship before the game, I think there should be a team in the final that does not qualify for the Europa League. This is more in line with UEFA policy. At least that's the case with historical data.

Back to this game, Sevilla not only dominates in terms of strength, but is also in very good shape. In the last round, they defeated the powerful Roma 2-0. The game process was not only reflected in the score, but also a complete crushing. Sevilla performed well in the last round of the game

On the other hand, although Wolves performed well in the Premier League, their performance in the Europa League was very average. In the last round of the game, they also had a difficult home game against the Greek team. The scene was very ugly. Wolves barely managed to steal a victory with a penalty kick

Sevilla versus Wolves, Sevilla’s own strength and reputation are much higher, and their competitive status is even better than Wolves. street. But one interesting thing is that the styles of the two teams are somewhat mutually exclusive. Sevilla is an alternative among the strong teams in La Liga. In the technical La Liga arena, they pay more attention to speed and overall coordination. This style allows them to often act as a dark horse when facing strong teams at home. When dealing with weak teams, they rely on Win with overall advantage, only to be repeatedly restrained when facing mid-range teams. The large number of South American players in the team makes the team more afraid of physical confrontation. The Argentinian Ocampos is the absolute core of the Sevilla team, but the Wolves team is completely opposite, basically strangulating in the midfield and attacking from the wing. Such a team is known as the killer of strong teams and good friends of weak teams. In fact, this is indeed true in the Premier League.

Wolves winger Traore’s handicap for Sevilla in this game is actually not supported enough. Many people say that the match against Roma is a draw of 2-0, which is different from the same pay and the same set. The themes have different results (I will tell you about them when I have time). In this game, we are optimistic that Wolves will win directly and advance to the top four 2-1 to face Manchester United in the Premier League civil war.
