Man U, the last Premier League team left in the Europa League, lost 3-0 to Sevilla in Sevilla today to complete a 5-2 thrashing in aggregate.
Sevilla is 13th in La Liga this season, with a losing record. Man U is in 3rd place in the Premier League.
This tie was more lopsided than Chelsea’s 4-0 loss to Real Madrid in the Champion's League. It took all of 7-plus minutes for Sevilla to score. Less than two minutes after Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw came in as “saviors” to rescue Man U according to the British commentators, Sevilla scored again to put the tie out of reach. Man U had 3 shots on goal. I’m 76, and I could have saved 2 of them.
Someday, when I have time to do the research, I will clinically destroy SMF’s bald assertion that La Liga is only the Big 2 and a bunch of small fry. The fact is that since 1975, excluding RM and Barca, clubs from La Liga have won more European trophies than clubs from the Premier League. And, more La Liga clubs have won trophies.
The trophies don’t lie. They are the only objective way to measure the relative strength of the two leagues. And, the numbers aren’t even close. Sevilla alone has won more European trophies than Tottenham and Man City combined.
