The Mendilibar team will give everything to bring joy to the fans

José Luis Mendilibar spoke before the clash: “We know that Aston Villa will play hard to qualify, as we want to do, and we both have a chance.”

 “I thank Sevilla for firing me because, if not, this would not have happened. If I hadn't left I wouldn't be here and none of this would have happened if our players didn't deserve it.”

“The message we send to the fans is that we will give everything to give them joy. We know very well what this moment tournament means for our fans. We have a very good team. “The players are starting to believe in themselves and when they do things can go better.”

About his rivalry with Emery: "Twenty years ago we played for the first time as rivals. I have changed less than him. We have played many times and the games were balanced. I don't think the differences were that big."

They seek the feat

Unay Emery spoke before this match: "Experience can always help you, whether you are successful or not. We have to create and build a new form and we lost the first leg. Tomorrow will be the game." "It's difficult to come back, but we have to play thinking and understanding that after the first 90 minutes the game plan didn't work well and I hope we do better."

"Before the game, we tried to analyze and respect the opponent and achieve our goal of not making mistakes. In the first leg we made more than normal... It is difficult for the players to maintain their emotions. They were excited and that changed in a minute "It is an important experience that we have had and tomorrow we have to maintain the balance."

"I told the players that I want to enjoy more, today and tomorrow. I want to be motivated with the way we play." I can react tomorrow. I appreciate and am proud of what we did this year. Even if we haven't always been successful, the response has been fantastic."
