DÜSSELDORF – DÜWhat is the point of the Europa League? Sevilla and Inter Milan have very different answers to that question.If Inter wins Friday's final in Germany, it would be a milestone in its bid to dethrone Juventus in Italy and re-establish itself as a Champions League heavyweight.
But Sevilla has a special affection for a competition it’s won five times, more than anyone else. “It’s a competition that we care about a lot, that we love more than anyone else,” Sevilla sporting director Ramón “Monchi” Rodríguez told The Associated Press. “And the players can feel that.
It’s the competition that has helped us grow, that has helped us become a more significant club, that has helped us become more well known.
