The Europa League specialists of Sevilla FC have ended Manchester United’s title dreams with impressive effectiveness. The record winner defeated the favored Red Devils in the semifinals despite being clearly inferior 2: 1 (1: 1) and is about to triumph for the sixth time in the second-highest European competition. The former Gladbacher Luuk de Jong (78th) ended the hopes of the English record champions. Previously, Suso (26th) equalized after the United lead by Bruno Fernandes (9th, penalty kick). After two semi-final defeats in the English Cup competitions, United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer emphasized that he “didn’t want to experience that feeling again”. In fact, his team went into the game with wild determination, after the break, the game developed into a game on one goal. But Seville goalkeeper Yassine Bounou saved several times brilliantly. De Jong’s winning goal came from practically nowhere.
