the Spanish club, who recently three times in a row won this trophy, was opposed by a strong “Wolverhampton”. The British almost the entire game was fought on equal terms and even able to take the lead, do not miss with a penalty in the first half, Raul Jimenez. However, the Mexican has not scored in the closing stages thanks to a goal by Lucas of as Monaco, Sevilla snatched victory and with it a spot in the semifinals – 1:0.
In the second pair of the day Shakhtar defeated FC Basel – 4:1, and the third time in history made it to the semifinals of the Europa League. For the finals Shakhtar Donetsk will compete with Milan “inter”.
But, of course, opposition to Sevilla with Manchester United in the semi-finals stands alone. Many experts have a long time joke that the Europa League should be only one team – Sevilla.
In this regard, recall the famous Opera “the Barber of Seville”. The team literally “cuts” the victory of the Europa League: it holds the record for number of wins in it (five trophies), and with the 2014 the Andalusians three times in a row won the best.
as for MJ, but now he is very unstable. It was evident to even the quarterfinal match against Copenhagen, in which the “red devils” suffered almost the entire game and only won in extra time thanks to a penalty (1:0). And this despite the fact that the author of the only goal from Bruno Fernandes is 2.5 times more than all the players, “Copenhagen” together – 76 million Euro versus 38.
However, not the most convincing performance of Manchester United a little worried about the head coach of the British OLE Gunnar sulsher. On the one hand, it can be understood. At the end of the season the team coped with the task very well and got to the Champions League. Plus, she continues to fight for the Europa League. But on the other – the game “Manchester United” leaves much to be desired, even though the money spent on beginners giant.
– We show a good result. I am fully satisfied with the guys, their attitude. “Copenhagen” was very good. Their goalkeeper played a great game. This season we were in the semifinals for the third time. Don’t want to miss this chance, ‘ said solskjaer.
as for the bookies, then a slight preference for the experts to give MJ. Betting on the exit of the British in the semi-finals take a factor of 1 to 1.8, Spanish – 1 to 2. While relatively recent, these teams met each other in the playoffs of the Champions League (in 2018), and turned out to be stronger Sevilla. And what’s interesting – Andalusians played a draw at home (0:0) and won away (2:1).
In the second semifinal pair the favourite is obvious. Inter initially looked like one of the favorites of the tournament. But not to mention the game of “Shakhtar” for the third time in history to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League.
it is Highly likely that the performance of inter in the Europa League on the future of the head coach of the Italian team Antonio Conte. Recently it hard to speakdrinking in the press, criticizing the club’s management. But the strange thing is that Conte did not say that he is angry at the boss “black and blue”. They also chose to duty phrases, not wanting to escalate the situation before the knockout stages of European competitions.
I’m now focused only on the Europa League. All other issues will be decided after the tournament. Yeah, a few days ago, I loudly spoke at a press conference, and it had reasons. However, do not misunderstand me: today is not the best time for such conversations. All in good time, – said Conte after the match 1/4 final against Leverkusen (2:1).
we will Add that last night was the first match of the quarterfinal stage of the Champions League Atalanta (Italy) – “the Bet of sen-ZHERMEN” (France). The result of the match in Lisbon became known after the signing rooms “RG” in print.
“Krasnodar” will start in the Champions League qualification 2020/21 season, with the last stage of selection round of the playoffs. This was possible because the winner of the Europa League will definitely be the team to qualify to the group stage of the Champions League through the national championship. In the semi-finals of the tournament proved to Sevilla, Manchester United, inter and Shakhtar. Thus, the French “Rennes” will avoid participation in qualification and will be released directly to the group. Thanks to this “Krasnodar” will play in the third (penultimate) round of qualifying, and will participate in the round of the playoffs. Recall that last season the team finished in third place in the Premier League and got to the qualification of the main European Competition, where they had Portuguese “Port”, but lost to the Greek Olympiacos.
