Sevilla head coach Unai Emery said after the Spanish football club beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3-1 and will play the Europa League final, that he is "very happy, to return to a final for three years in a row" and predicted the final will be "very tough and demanding".
Emery on Thursday said at the press conference that for "every Sevillista", this match is "something special"; the team has always "stood tall" against Shakhtar and managed to overcome "the difficulties"; and that the game "went in our favour and gave us momentum to win the game and go to the final for three years in a row", reports Efe.
For Sevilla's coach, the final against Liverpool will be "beautiful, tough and very demanding" as Liverpool "is looking to make history and seek passage to the UEFA Champions League next season".
Commenting about the opponent Shakhtar, he said: "Congratulations to Shakhtar. They were a great opponent."
Sevilla will face Liverpool in the final on May 18.
