UEFA Europa League: Liverpool 1-3 Sevilla - 5 Talking Points

#2 Unai Emery will be a wanted man in the summer

Football managers are not that hard to find, but Unai Emery is a special one, of that there is no doubt. Emery led Sevilla to their third Europa League title in a row and he has helmed all three triumphs. The relatively young Spanish coach is in line to be pursued heavily in the summer with a string of managerial jobs to be on offer all around.

On this night, he didn’t really outfox Jurgen Klopp tactically as much as he outlasted his effect on his team. It was a necessary halftime talk that saw a different Sevilla come out to play.

A more confident Sevilla turned on the heat with players indulging in a blitz styled attack to level it up in a mere 30 seconds of game restarting and hereon, Emery orchestrated the crowd as they backed their team and the Andalucian outfit outplayed the opposition on the pitch.

Make no mistake, Emery is a tactically adept manager with his prowess in Spain unparalleled by most, he is the complete package and Sevilla may well have a fight on their hands to keep him at the club. After this, you would not be surprised if Everton put in a cheeky approach for the man who denied their bitter rivals a European triumph.
