Barcelona and tournament specialists Sevilla are hoping to secure spots in the quarter-finals of the Europa League this week with three Spanish teams still in a competition dominated by La Liga clubs in recent years.
“The results are coming back and we hope to keep this going through to the end of the season,” the veteran centre-back told the club’s website. Six draws in their last eight league games have effectively ended their domestic title hopes, leaving Julen Lopetegui’s charges 10 points adrift of leaders Real Madrid.
They left the injured Marcos Acuna out of their squad for the journey to the United Kingdom to face a West Ham side who see the Europa League as their best chance of a first major trophy in over four decades. Spanish clubs have won seven of the last 10 editions of the Europa League, including last year when Villarreal beat Manchester United on penalties in the final.
