In comments to uefa.com, he added: "The fact that this is our third consecutive final demonstrates how focused and hungry we have been to do well in the Europa League, and win it." Meanwhile, Kevin Gameiro, Sevilla's top scorer this season with 28 goals — including seven in Europa League — believes his side's past experiences will prove decisive.
"Liverpool are an historic club with great players," the French striker said. "It's exciting... and they'll make life hard for us, but we've been together for a number of years and we know how to play these games."
