Manchester United meet Sevilla in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, and in Friday’s episode of united.no’s new podcast, we talk to Petter Veland about the Spanish team, which is in 13th place in La Liga.
– In a way, it is a dream draw for Manchester United to draw a team that is far from its best level. I consider United to be a much better and more complete football team right now, says Veland.
– At the same time, the beast wakes up in Andalucía when the Europa League anthem is played. They have now advanced to 29 of the last 31 playoff games they have played in the tournament. These are such sick numbers that in many ways they are the collective version of what Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been doing in terms of scoring. It is a statistic that is beyond belief.
Sevilla knocked out Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s team in the Europa League in Cologne in 2020. It was the sixth and for the time being the last time the Spanish team went to the top of the tournament.
Naturally, we also take a look at the 1-0 victory against Real Betis, and reveal why it might be a good idea to visit our Instagramaccount after Sunday’s FA Cup match against Fulham.
