Sevilla squad is no longer the same as the previous squad. They was a strong team when some key players were still in the team. In the last transfer windows, some of the key players decided to leave Sevilla. Sadly, Sevilla failed to get proper players for the replacement. The current Sevilla squad is not strong enough, that's they fail to survive in UCL. They finished the group stage in the bottom position, so they also failed to go to Europa League knockout phase. Sevilla position in domestic league is also very bad, they are only in 14th place. This season may be one of the worse season of Sevilla team.
Most people favor Liverpool and Leverkusen as the candidates of the finalist of Europa League this season. However, we don't know if they really can reach the final round because there are many other strong teams that can't be underestimated. Although both Liverpool and Leverkusen can continue to the next round, they may meet stronger teams in the semi-final round. So, it is true that the road of the final can be surprising. There is no guarantee that we will see Liverpool and Leverkusen in the final match.
Sevilla journey in the Europa League so far has been quite fantastic by winning 7 Europa League titles while making them the rulers of the Europa League, last season was the last season Sevilla won the Europa League trophy while getting an automatic ticket to play in the Champions League after defeating Roma in the final, what you say is true if the squad changes that occurred in Sevilla actually made Sevilla destroyed, Many important players left Sevilla last season after the their won the Europa League championship and the fact that Sevilla had to be knocked out of from the top 10 la liga standing right now and of course it is quite sad to see Sevilla seem will to be out of the Europa League championship for a long time after their poor performance this season.
Naturally, Liverpool and Leverkusen are the favorites of many members here to both reach the final, because so far they have been quite consistent in maintaining their game performance in the Europa League and domestic league, although actually we may forget there are still Milan and Marseille who might give a surprise in the semi-finals later, if Milan and Leverkusen meet in the semi-finals then I personally am quite sure if Liverpool will be able to meet Milan in the final, so that way we will see how two teams which have experience in the Champions League will fight for the Europa League trophy as an achievement before ending the 2023/24 season.
