Sevilla eye historic fourth title

Warsaw ( Poland), May 26: Sevilla can become the first side ever to win four Europa League or Uefa Cup titles when the holders face a Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk side playing in their first major European final on Wednesday.

Moreover, victory would also secure direct qualification to next season’s Champions League having missed out by just a point to Valencia in the battle for fourth place in La Liga.

In contrast to the late goals and two penalty shootouts that led them to glory in last season’s Europa League, Sevilla boss Unai Emery’s men have been rampant this campaign losing just once in 14 games and scoring 26 goals in the process.

Dnipro’s unlikely road to Warsaw has been far more hard- fought as the Ukrainians have won just seven of their 16 matches in reaching the final.

However, having already upset the likes of Olympiakos, Ajax and Napoli, coach Myron Markevich is prepared for his side’s stiffest task yet in the Polish capital.

“We’ve studied Sevilla’s matches in Spain and Europa League thoroughly,” Markevich said.

“They’re very strong opponents. I consider Sevilla to be among Europe’s 10 strongest clubs,” he added.
