The Sevilla team also played in the Champions league last season. But their performance in the Champions League was very poor. Even in La liga this team could not play well in the last season. Their only goal was the Europa league title. And finally the team was able to secure the Europa League title. Despite performing well in the Europa League, the team's performance in the La Liga and Champions league was poor. I think we will see the same thing this season. I wouldn't expect much from this team in Champions League or La Liga. Sevilla know very well that they will not have much advantage in the Champions League. Their goal will be the Europa League title this season as well.

Sevilla's level is still far from UCL. Even though this club was able playing in UCL but the result will always be the same. Being able to compete in UCL is already a huge achievement for sevilla. I don't even put a lot of hope for this club.
Sevilla needs more than a miracle to go to the play off stage with the current squad. Although I don't want to be pessimistic about Sevilla's performance, it's necessary to consider the possibility that they might be in a less-than-ideal situation presently and we should take that into account.

I would like to value qualifed for UCL play off is a higher achievement compared with winning europa league. It's caused by sevilla is in financial crisis and the club in the needs of money to solve that.

After defeating AS Roma in the final of last season's UEFA Europa League competition, I was thinking Sevilla were gonna build on that result and have a better campaign than they had last season but they've started the season worse than they did last season by not getting a point from their first three Spanish La Liga games of the season.
Sergio Ramos who started his professional football career with the club just returned to his boyhood club and will definitely want to help the team to win games and trophies but if the team doesn't improve generally, there's nothing one player can do for them. The UEFA Champions League football returns shortly after the FIFA international break so Sevilla must significantly improve if they want to have a good European Cup season.
