Unai Emery: 'Benfica are favourites'

Sevilla boss Unai Emery says that Benfica are the favourites to triumph in tonight's Europa League final.

Sevilla boss Unai Emery has claimed that Benfica are the favourites to triumph in tonight's Europa League final in Turin.

The Portuguese outfit, who lost in the final to Chelsea last season, have already won two trophies in their own country this term.

Sevilla have also enjoyed a successful league campaign and currently sit fifth in La Liga, but Emery has said that his side are the underdogs entering the match.

"This is the final challenge we face. We need to face it and take it on," he told reporters at a press conference.

"We respect our opponent and what is for certain is that we are both deserving finalists. In fairness, the big favourites were Juventus and Benfica eliminated them.

"Therefore, they could feel that they are the favourites but that doesn't mean we don't think we can beat them. We respect that they could be seen as favourites."

Sevilla overcame Valencia in the semi-finals on away goals.
