DUISBURG, Germany (Reuters) - Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito Santo was proud of his players despite their 1-0 Europa League quarter-final defeat by Sevilla on Tuesday and refused to blame striker Raul Jimenez for a costly first-half penalty miss.

Up against a Sevilla team who won three Europa League titles from 2014-2016, Wolves gave a good account of themselves, even though they were playing in their 59th match of the season.

"Like I've said many times it's a long journey," Nuno said. "We wanted to go as far as we could. We came really close today. "Raul is an amazing player, all the things he does for the team," Nuno added."The work, the goals, the talent he has is amazing - Raul is a fantastic player." "I think we deserved the win," Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui said."The key was to chip, chip, chip away, have patience and wait until the right moment.
