After the excitement of the Champions League, attention now turns to the Europa League, with the semi-finals set to kick off this Thursday. Valencia is gearing up for a showdown against Sevilla in a 100% Spanish clash. This match sets the stage for the reunion of the ever-resilient Seydou Keita with his former Sevillian teammates.
The 34-year-old midfielder seamlessly transitioned back into European football upon his return to Valencia CF. After spending a year and a half in China with Dalian Aerbin, the Malian international made an immediate impact, cementing his place in the starting lineup for the Spanish side. Despite Valencia’s disappointing season in La Liga, they are poised to face Sevilla FC in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final.
“We’re heading to Seville with the aim of securing a positive result. We’re confident in our abilities and determined to seize this opportunity,” remarked striker Eduardo Vargas.
