Sevilla FC 3:0 Manchester United (5:2 on aggregate)
Manchester United were forced to draw at home by Sevilla in the first leg, and also damaged the main duo of Varane and Lisandro Martinez, and Ten Hag can only restart Lindelof and Maguire, and everyone knows how uncomfortable this combination is.

In the 40th minute, Acuña assisted Ocampos to score another goal, fortunately for offside, but Manchester United were incomplete at the end of the game, and less than two minutes after returning from the second half, Baday received a corner assist from Rakitic to extend the advantage.
