Manchester United, perhaps, will think it was unlucky. It will think of the welter of chances it missed at the beginning of the second half. It may wonder whether things might have been different had it not been for fatigue, had it had a more straightforward end to the season – or had Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rotated more. And perhaps it would have a point. But Sevilla’s progress to the Europa League final via a 2-1 victory also exposed familiar flaws in Solskjaer’s side.
This is very much Sevilla’s competition.
