Sevilla
David Soria – 6/10
David Soria had little to do all game but played his part except for the goal, which in all honesty, was unstoppable.
Mariano Ferreira – 8/10
One of Sevilla’s best players going forward on the night, Mariano Ferreira also didn’t break a sweat dealing with fellow Brazilian, Coutinho. His drive, guile and energy going forward completely unsettled Alberto Moreno and it was his incredible driving run forward that created the leveler after half time.
Adil Rami – 6/10
Adil Rami led a charmed life in the opening half as shouts of handball kept flying at Sevilla’s defenders in the box. However, in the second half, Rami and his partner snuffed out any small chance Liverpool created. He was substituted after picking up a knock later on.
Daniel Carrico– 6/10
Daniel Carrico faced a barrage of Liverpool pressure as he handled the ball in the box at one point, only for the referee to come to his rescue. He was solid otherwise.
Sergio Escudero – 6/10
Sergio Escudero could barely deal with an in-form Clyne in the first half but grew into it as the game wore on.
Grzegorz Krychowiak – 7/10
Krychowiak had a fantastic second half as he ticked play magnificently while keeping Liverpool’s attacking play in check. He was a little off in the first half.
Steven N’Zonzi – 6/10
N’Zonzi struggled in the first half but was solid in the second half as Liverpool could barely get past Sevilla’s holding midfielders.
Machin Vitolo– 7/10
Machin Vitolo seemed to have trouble tracking Clyne in the first half but remained a viable threat owing to his dribbling and drive. In the second half, he made merry on his side of the pitch as Liverpool capitulated.
Ever Banega – 7/10
Ever Banega looked completely stifled in the first half but became the focal point for all good play by Sevilla in the second half as the Andalucian outfit took Liverpool to the sword.
Coke – 8/10
After a bit of a silent first half, Coke roared to life in the second as he kept troubling Liverpool all around and made merry at the expense of Can. He scored the two goals that handed Sevilla the trophy, one of which was sublimely worked out by the interplay between him and the other Sevilla forwards.
Kevin Gameiro– 8/10
One of the few Sevilla players who threatened all game, Gameiro trouble the Liverpool defenders all night and was incredible with his pace and power. He scored the leveler and could’ve put Sevilla into the lead had Kolo Toure not intervened at the very end of his run at Liverpool’s goal.
