This Sunday August 21 Seville celebrating the second anniversary of the last title won by the Andalusian club, the sixth European League boosted by Julen Lopetegui’s men in the German city of Cologne after a great comeback against Inter in the 2020 final.
After all football was paralyzed by the pandemic, UEFA created a new format in the final draw with single-match qualifiers and at a single venue, the Cologne stadium. Sevilla, in a tournament that meant Bono’s revelation, eliminated Roma in the round of 16, Wolverhampton in the quarterfinals and Manchester United in the semifinals.
The big day arrived and sevillismo vibrated from afar as his team returned. Lukaku put Inter ahead early in the match, but two impressive headers from Luuk de Jong turned the score around. Godín came back to put the tie at 2-2 which Diego Carlos pulled off with a spectacular bicycle kick that is already in the history of the club for what it means.
Sevilla have shown that they continue to be absolute dominators of the competition, having won two titles with Juande Ramos in 2006 and 2007 (still under the UEFA Cup name) and the Unai Emery trilogy (2014, 2015 and 2016). .
That August night Lopetegui lined up Bono; Navas, Koundé, Diego Carlos, Reguilón; Fernando, Jordan, Banega; Suso, Ocampos and De Jong. Then Munir, Gudelj, Franco Vázquez and En-Nesyri jumped onto the pitch from the bench.
