David Moyes on West Ham’s adventure
The Scot is quietly confident his side can spring an upset, but knows the power Sevilla have had over this competition in recent years.
“The group we have are capable. There are times this season where it does not matter who we play, we will get a win. I see this as a great game for us.
“Sevilla have a really good history in the competition. It is two legs – we have this one and we are looking forward to the London Stadium next week.
“You want to play in Europe. It is the elite to challenge yourself against.
“I want to be a new West Ham that qualifies for Europe and challenges the top teams. This time last year I thought Europe was a possibility. Prior to that we were avoiding relegation.
“That was the job. We have become a team challenging for Europe. We have moved a big amount in a short time. Tomorrow is a different level.”
