Manchester United has been one of the football's hottest teams since the corona break. In the Europa League semi-final, they faced Sevilla, whose history in the tournament is impressive. With five titles, they are the tournament's most successful team ever.

United took the lead

And the history weighed heavily, it would turn out despite a good start from Manchester United. After just eight minutes, Marcus Rashford went down in the penalty area and Bruno Fernandes stepped forward. The Portuguese has shown proof of great coolness in the penalty area in recent times and with his patented, a bit strange, last step, he was also able to give United the lead.

But Sevilla would equalize. Zlatan's former teammate in Milan, Suso, was played by the talented Sergio Regulion and could only put his left foot there and the equalizer was a fact.

Set against Inter or Shaktar

In the second half, the English were sometimes dominant and had pressure on the Sevilla goal. But it was the Andalusians who would take command through the recently replaced Luuk de Jong. Victor Nilsson Lindelöf and back colleague Aaron Wan-Bisaka left the Dutchman unattended in the penalty area and de Jong had no problem hitting the lead goal from close range.

United then had twelve minutes of regular playing time to find a draw. But the English never managed to create anything really dangerous and Sevilla were able to secure a place in the final. Once there, the winner awaits between Inter and Shaktar Donetsk, who play on Monday.
