contrary to this, it is unlikely that sevilla can afford any major signings with the clubs financial standing and yes, getting champions league football does not change that position. it is left to see if sevilla are able to get quality loan signings, else they would struggle with relegation like the just concluded season

It's difficult to fight in the Champions League when a team doesn't have high-quality players, but in the season that just finished Sevilla were still able to stay in the middle area of the final standings and it's not that close to relegation. But for next season Sevilla will have to fight even harder because they are already in a tougher competition apart from La Liga, because the Champions League is a league for the best teams from several domestic leagues.

However, Sevilla has managed to qualify for the Champions League. But I think this team will aim for Europa League in the next season as well. As we have seen this season, from the start of the season the team's only goal was to perform well in the Europa League. While Sevilla's performance in La Liga has been erratic, the team has played very well in every Europa League match. Moreover, Sevilla does not have a strong squad to consistently perform well in the Champions League. If they try their hardest, they might be able to qualify for the round of 16 or the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Perhaps they will consider winning the Europa League title more prestigious than that.

When I read this I am asking where you get that idea from? As if any team would say that they want to neglect the league and the Copa del Rey and only play well in the Europa League as if it was their only goal. Do you believe that?
This time they are qualified for the Champions League and you say that they are aiming for the Europa League. Could you explain how you made up the idea that they will not play well in the Champions League in order to then get relegated to the Europa League and then play well there? I can't get it. I believe that they will try their best in all competitions they will be playing because why would they not.

My thoughts do not agree with your thoughts. But I think that will be the case. Because I saw Sevilla's performance in the Champions League last season. Out of 6 matches, they won only 1 match. They have also drawn away matches and won home matches against teams like Copenhagen. They lost both matches against Manchester City by big margins. They were beaten 4-1 at home against Dortmund. Despite poor performances in every match in the Champions League, this team has shown great dominance in almost every match in the Europa League. They also played well against teams like Juventus and United. And that's why I think Sevilla's main priority is the Europa League.

They were bad in general in the early phase of last season. That had nothing to do with their intent and purpose with regards to their goals for the season and what they wanted to win. They were bad. After 20 La Liga games they had 21 points and were 3 points ahead of Getafe who were ranked 19th. Sevilla was fighting for their survival in La Liga. Of course they are not winning against Manchester City. Who who against Manchester City? Sevilla lost their away game 3-1 against Manchester City and Real Madrid? They lost 4-0. There is no logic in the point you are trying to make here. The main priority will never be the Europa League for any club. It can turn into the main priority during the season, yes. But no club starts the season and says "no competition matters except for the Europa League"... I have never heard that before.
