Sampaoli: Sevilla far superior

Jorge Sampaoli claimed Sevilla were “far superior” to Leicester City, who “did very little” during his side’s 2-1 win on Wednesday.

Sevilla dominated the first hour of their Champions League last-16 first leg against Leicester, but the Andalusians were left to rue their inability to take chances as Jamie Vardy scored an away goal for the Foxes.

“We were far superior in the development of the game, with 10 clear, scoring chances,” the Coach said after the game.

“They did very little but succeeded in the end. I think we deserved a bit more.

“We had all sorts of chances but hit the post and crossbar. Our opponents only had a few chances, but now we have to go to Leicester for the win.

“We wanted to confuse our opponents a bit by getting our forwards to change positions.

“Still, it was possible to create many chances against a team that sat very deep. That’s not easy.

“For us to win in the Champions League is very important, but the bad thing is that we left our lead so slight after huge superiority.

“The missed penalty? Hopefully we can convert the next one.”
