Here's how Wolves line-up for tonight's @EuropaLeague quarter-final tie against @SevillaFC_ENG. #WOLSEV
August 11, 2020
Hello world!
In a couple of hours’ time we could be preparing for an all-English Europa League semi-final, with Manchester United having already booked their spot in the first final four fixture, scheduled for Sunday, while Internazionale will play either Shakhtar Donetsk or Basel in Monday’s other game. To make that happen Wolves will have to get past Europa League specialists Sevilla, who have not been beaten by anybody in any competition since Pione Sisto grabbed a stoppage-time winner for Celta Vigo waaaay back in February. The Spaniards come into the game having won six of their last seven, culminating in last Thursday’s 2-0 win over Roma in this very stadium, a run that saw them finish fourth in La Liga, behind Atletico Madrid only on goal difference (they drew both games against Atleti, so their head-to-head record was identical).
With the special Germany-based single-match format it’ll be decided tonight, one way or another. “It will be like a final for us and for Sevilla,” says Nuno Espirito Santo. “I hope we can go through to the semis.” So, like a quarter-final then.
Weather update: Duisburg has been a raging inferno today, with temperatures topping out at 34C, but it might rain tonight, with my meteorological source telling me there’s a 44% chance of a downpour. Of course, as Willy Boly demonstrates here, the players can always make their own:
