Football | Sevilla stuns Liverpool with 3-1 win in Europa League final

Spain did it again, Sevilla did it again and Liverpool could do little to turn the tide as a Europa League title slipped away yesterday.
Sevilla’s thrilling second-half comeback in a 3-1 win ensured the club’s third straight Europa League title, and a fifth in 11 seasons.
It also ensured Spain will sweep Europe’s club competitions for a third straight year, ahead of the Atletico Madrid-Real Madrid final of the Champions League on May 28.
It was fitting that Spain’s former King Juan Carlos stood beside the Spanish soccer federation president, Angel Maria Villar, who presented the trophy as UEFA’s senior vice president to Sevilla captain and two-goal standout Coke.
“Maybe we are not the ones who should say it,” Sevilla coach Unai Emery said when asked to explain Spanish dominance of European club soccer. “Maybe others should analyze what we do.”
“I have my own theory,” Emery added. “We really compete and we have been able to win against teams that were better than us.”
