THE PLAYERS EMPHASISE THEIR SATISFACTION AFTER FULFILLING THEIR OBJECTIVE WITH THE POINT

En-Nesyri, Rakitic, Gudelj, Navas and Bono all spoke to the media after the draw against Atlético at the Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday. With the objective fulfilled, the goalscorer, En-Nesyri, was very happy and thanked his teammates and Julen Lopetegui: "We are where we want to be, I am very happy for the team. This is the way we want it to be all the time. Thank you to the boss for all the confidence he showed in me after my injury. The important thing is to continue to concentrate, I dedicate my goal to all the Sevilla fans. It has been an uncomfortable season for me with the injury, but little by little I am gaining confidence to get back in top form." 

Ivan Rakitic commented on the team's resiliance to play until the end, as well as the happiness he feels for the fans: "I think it was a good game, going behind and fighting until the end. The team deserved this point, it makes our last league game one we can enjoy with the fans. We have made history and it's an important day for all the fans. I think you could see the team had fought until the end and we deserve it after having gone through so much. I hope that the fans are pleased." Nemanja Gudelj was equally as happy and discussed the club's excellence for having made it to the biggest European competition for a third year in a row: "Congratulations to the club for making history, it isn't easy qualifying for this competition, yet alone three times in a row. We have shown that in the difficult times we always stick together. We came here to win and in the first half we were lacking some end product and they scored from a corner but we kept on believing and we got what we deserved. The changing room is full of joy, it's time to celebrate because today is a great day." 

Another happy camper was Jesús Navas, who came on in the second half ready to fight and give it his all for his teammates: "We got there, we suffered and, in the end, the team deserves to be there. I wanted to help the team out, the draw we needed came and I am satisfied. I always have a desire to get out on the pitch and cause some problems for the opposition. This year can be summed up as a tough one and I think we have to be content for not having given in. We have to go all out with the fans to keep climbing the table." Bono was the last to share his thoughts on the matter and speak on his personal performance: "We know that the league is complicated and even more so in the last run of games. To have come here and to have played the way we played, it only makes you happy. I am always focused on my job, but I am happy for Youssef, who tried his all and got his reward. Congratulations to all the boys and lets carry this on. Keeping the most clean sheets is important, but like I've said to my teammates, the biggest award for me is to be happy every time I step foot on the pitch."
