Emery disappointed by Sevilla's Champions League campaign

Sevilla coach Unai Emery expressed his disappointment at his side's short-lived Champions League campaign after their elimination from the competition was confirmed by a 4-2 defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach.

A Lars Stindl brace and strikes from Raffael and Fabian Johnson sealed a convincing win for the hosts, with Vitolo and an Ever Banega penalty salvaging some pride for the Spanish visitors on Wednesday.

Sevilla must now beat Juventus and hope Gladbach slip up against Manchester City in order to earn the consolation of a return to the Europa League, which they won last season.

"We felt we wanted more out of this competition," Emery said according to AS. "But we have to raise ourselves and with the strength of this team look for our objectives.

"We finish in the Champions League despite the hopes we had. The demand was too much."

Emery admitted his side must find a way to stop leaking goals, having conceded 11 in five games, in order to have a chance of adding to their four Europa League titles.

"Our second objective is the Europa League and that’s what we compete for in the final round [of games]," he added.

"We'll play in our stadium and have to maintain the hope of that competition. We have to look for solutions. We have to work on the defensive issues. We've got to be better and we have to find a way to be better."
