Sevilla’s third consecutive Europa League triumph was secured by condemning Liverpool to a 3-1 loss at the St. Jakob Park in Basel, Switzerland.

Sevilla coach Unai Emery said in that his side needed to produce a perfect performance to down Liverpool. Initially, this looked like a pipe dream as Daniel Sturridge’s opener was part of a first half that Jurgen Klopp’s men completely dominated. However, Emery and his team were faultless thereafter.

Kevin Gameiro’s goal 18 seconds after the restart sprung the Spaniards into action, before Coke added a brace to ensure the trophy would head back to Andalucia.

Sevilla’s dominance in this competition has continued despite huge player turnover throughout, while Emery deserves a huge amount of credit as his side not only managed to claw back Liverpool’s lead, but comprehensively turn the fate of the match after a sluggish first period.

For Liverpool, a chance at a major honour as well as Champions League football was squandered in the costly 3-1 loss. Jurgen Klopp must now figure out which players are surplus to requirements (ahem.. Alberto Moreno) to build ‘his’ team for the campaigns ahead.

Here are some of the best reactions on Twitter:

Did anyone order a barrage of Coke tweets?

Not everyone was laughing.

Social media was quick to point out that Liverpool had conceded three goals in 25 minutes after the restart.

It’s all bad news for Liverpool it seems, with those at the game pointing out the winners of the atmosphere stakes.

Vamos Sevilla!

Maybe next year. Or the year after that. Or never.

Alberto Moreno received some harsh criticism from Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, amongst others. It turns out that putting on a horrible performance in the Europa League is really, really bad.
