Sevilla’s great victory in the Europa League final against Roma, which allowed the Andalusian team to become seven-time champions of the tournament and further extend their hegemony (only Liverpool, Inter and Juventus are next with three title), will give José Luis Mendilibar’s team a chance to return to the Champions League, where they qualified for the fourth consecutive season, this time through the Europa League after three years as fourth in the League .
And it is Sevilla, in a year where the threat of relegation is imminent, will turn the season into a great campaign despite being far from the top four places. The Andalusian team enters the highest continental competition and also does so in pot 1, that is, it is seeded in the draw for the group stage, which will allow them to avoid the coconuts of Manchester City or Bayern Munich.
Sevilla, as the Europa League champion, is in pot 1 with the Liga champions: Barcelona, Napoli, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, PSG and Benfica. If City win the Champions League, Dutch champions Feyenoord will also enter.
It is a privilege to avoid these rivals that Real Madrid and Atlético, for example, will not have, being in pot 2, where they have already confirmed their presence, apart from the teams of Madrid, Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund, Porto or Arsenal.
There is no date for the draw yet, but it should be before August 30 and there are already many qualified teams, although some are still waiting to see which drum they will compete in. Among them are Real Sociedad, Lazio, Inter, Union Berlin, Leipzig, Newcastle, Celtic, Shakhtar, Lens, Salzburg, Milan and Red Star.
