U. Emery named Europa League favorites

Three-time Europa League champion Unai Emery analyzed the tournament semifinals starting today.

According to the "Aston Villa" strategist, his former team "Sevilla" and Turin's "Juventus" are two main contenders to win the title.

Indeed, these two teams will have to clarify their relationship already in the Europa League semifinals, and the first leg will be played in Italy.

It will be like a great final and I say this with great respect for the clubs led by J. Mourinho and X. Alonso, "Roma" and "Bayer," respectively.

I am convinced that the winner of the "Sevilla" and "Juventus" pair will have the best chance to triumph in Budapest.

Italians have a strong lineup, while Spaniards have maintained a winning mentality in this tournament.

"Juventus" must respect "Sevilla." The "Serie A" club, if I remember correctly, has not won an international trophy since the end of the last century.

The new Sevilla team strategist Mendilibaras has revitalized the club, and they definitely did not make a mistake in eliminating "Man Utd" from the tournament," clarified U. Emery.
