Manchester United lost 3-0 in the away leg of their quarterfinal, giving Sevilla another opportunity to score twice, and as a result, they were eliminated from the Europa League.
The game on Thursday at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan began with the score tied at 2-2 after two late own goals at Old Trafford.
Youssef En-Nesyri contributed to United’s elimination with a brace following mistakes by David de Gea and Harry Maguire in the defense.
Juventus will play Sevilla in the semi-finals after Sevilla advanced with a 5-2 aggregate victory thanks to goals from Loic Bade and other players.
De Gea fed the ball into Maguire, who was quickly surrounded by three attackers on the edge of the penalty area and saw his attempted pass intercepted by Erik Lamela before En-Nesyri calmly slotted home.

Sevilla continued to pose the greater threat and the VAR came to United’s rescue five minutes before the break when Marcos Acuna strayed offside before Lucas Ocampos brilliantly fired past De Gea.
It was only a temporary reprieve as Ivan Rakitic’s corner looped up off Bade’s shoulder and over De Gea at the start of the second half.
Not our night.

Ocampos somehow failed to add a third in a goalmouth scramble, allowing United to attempt their own two-goal comeback as Casemiro and Christian Eriksen went close.
But any hopes of a United recovery were ended nine minutes from time when De Gea raced out of his box and failed to make clean contact with a clearance, giving En-Nesyri the opportunity to curl his shot around the stranded goalkeeper.
