Chairman José Castro was ecstatic after the team won their sixth Europa League: "Every time we've reached the quarters, we've won it. The tournament has our name and we've eliminated big clubs. But the biggest of all is Sevilla, who have been capable of becoming champion more than anyone else, six times".
The president wanted to remember many people: "I remember many people. Reyes, Antonio... also many Sevillistas who have watched the game from the third tier, like my uncle Antonio who made me a Sevillista. The reality is that this was bound to happen. You have been here for 14 days like us and you could see a group of people who are very keen to succeed, with the quality of the team but with a camaraderie that makes the team a family. They were all going to die so Navas could lift the cup and that's how it's been. This trajectory is impossible to improve this season and now the Europa League. Can you ask for more?"
He spoke of Jesús Navas as if he were talking about a son: "He is different, an introverted person and the spotlights make him dizzy in some way, but there he is. He is a huge Sevillista, a great professional and he looks like he is 20 years old. He's 34 years old and he still has more years to give us glorious evenings".
He promised the fans that there would be a celebration: "I remember the fans, who haven't seen their team for so many months and that's a pain for everyone. If it took that long I'd be annoyed and this title is for them. The squad says that all the time and this gift goes to them. I ask the Sevillistas to enjoy it at home with the family because we are in difficult times and I promise here and now to look for the time and place for the fans to enjoy this title, because again the silverware comes to Sevilla and Spain. We distanced ourselves from our nearest challengers for UEL titles and we managed to get all of Spain to be Sevilla. I am very proud and I say so".
