Sevilla chief Monchi has sought to rally fans and players after last night's defeat to Athletic Bilbao.

The result was a heavy blow to Sevilla's outside title hopes.

But Monchi declared on social media: “Proud of my people, those from within the field and those from outside.

"We will continue dreaming, for sure, because we have come to stay. To keep bothering. And paraphrasing JC Aragón, mediocre people can only achieve some glory by seeing others sunk.

"Forza SFC!"
