Ever Banega: Sevilla win was not about revenge

Ever Banega insisted Sevilla's 2-1 win against Spartak Moscow was not a revenge mission, although he hailed his side's character in bouncing back from a thrashing in Russia.

Spartak had won the reverse Champions League fixture 5-1 two weeks earlier, stunning a Sevilla outfit that had chances to take all three points away from home.

But Banega and his team-mates were back on form in Group E on Wednesday, with the Argentina international creating the first goal for Clement Lenglet and adding the second himself.

And he was pleased with the way Sevilla conducted themselves, even if he was not interested in avenging their shock defeat.
