Sevilla manager Unai Emery admits his club has a love affair with the Europa League.

The Spanish outfit made it three Europa League triumphs in a row by beating Liverpool 3-1 in Basel on Wednesday night.

Emery has now won the UEFA competition in each of his three season with Los Rojiblancos and after getting over Jurgen Klopp's dangerous Reds side, was absolutely delighted with yet another continental success.

"Liverpool are a great team. We had to believe in ourselves," he said after an early second-half goal from Kevin Gameiro and brace from Coke won it for his team.

"I'm very happy for all Sevilla fans.

"Spanish teams compete passionately. We are able to read the game at the highest level.

"We love this competition. We want to win it so much. It's our competition."
