Julen Lopetegui, of course, spoke to Official Media after the club won the UEFA Europa League for the sixth time: "It's a fantastic joy for everyone and I know that today the Sevillistas have that little ray of sunshine and will sleep very well. We have done our bit to make the club a bit bigger and I thank them for everything".
The boss cannot ask anything more from his players: "I'm very proud of everyone, as I would be if we hadn't won. The great group that they are, the ones who haven't played a minute. The players deserve everything because they're a fantastic group of lads". The team always believed: "On the shirt it says we never give up and we have it etched on our hearts. The team has believed, wanted and pulled with heart and effort. We've had that just reward and in football when you give a lot, you get a lot back. We remember Reyes, Puerta and all of their people".
You cannot say the journey has been easy: "The team came into it well, we met tough teams in a different setting. Roma, Wolves, Manchester United and Inter. Such powerful teams that we have beaten, digging deep as is normal, but you always dig deep in football and we knew how to manage it. We came to Sevilla with enthusiasm despite the difficulties. It is not easy because in this club the objectives are always very high, but in La Liga and in the Europa League we have been very good". Finally, he wanted to remember people during such a difficult year: "We all have people who have left us and I recently spoke with Juan Carlos Unzúe. He is a motivator because of how he is handling it and you remember all those people who set an example. It's time".
