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.
As Sevilla have shown terrible performances in their first three matches in La liga, I do not see the possibility of this team playing in the round of 16 of the Champions league. They played very well in the Europa League last season. But this season their performance is even weaker than last season. They can't win against weak teams. Every team in the Champions League is strong enough. I don't see any possibility of Sevilla. I think Sevilla will try to stabilize their squad. And like the previous season, this season will also compete for the Europa League title. The Sevilla team is very experienced in the Europa League platform. Sevilla have the potential to perform well in the Europa League.
