da apostaganha： The Red Devils will have to be at their best to get past Sevilla in Spain, but the club have built their history on famous visits to the continent
da marjack bet： What looked like being a cakewalk is now set to be an epic battle. Manchester United were coasting in last week's Europa League quarter-final first leg against Sevilla, and for a moment the looming trip to the south of Spain looked like being a leisurely stroll.
Instead, Sevilla staged a stunning fightback at Old Trafford to draw 2-2 as United mourned Lisandro Martinez's agonising injury.
It means the Red Devils now face a daunting must-win match amid the scorching atmosphere of the Sanchez Pizjuan against the side that have won the Europa League a record six times.

10Scholes silences the San Siro: Inter 1-1 Man Utd (1999)
A Dwight Yorke double had given United a 2-0 win in the first leg of this quarter-final tie, but this was the golden age of Italian football and San Siro one of its most intimidating arenas.
And Inter had a weapon they had not had at their disposal at Old Trafford: Ronaldo Nazario.
The Nerazzurri gave United numerous frights before Nicola Ventola put them ahead in the second half, while both Henning Berg and Peter Schmeichel played their part in keeping Inter at bay. They were, though, hugely fortunate to see Ze Elias drag a shot wide of the post which would have levelled the tie.
United kept their nerve, and down the other end a cushioned header from Andy Cole teed up Paul Scholes to side-foot past Gianluca Pagliuca and score an away goal that effectively ended the tie.

London might not have been top of many United fans' ideal European away destinations, but their semi-final second-leg romp against Arsenal was a night to savour.
United held a slender 1-0 advantage from the first leg and the Emirates Stadium, for once, was a cauldron of noise at kick off.
The Red Devils' weathered an early storm before Park Ji-sung pounced on a Kieran Gibbs slip to silence the Arsenal fans after only eight minutes.
Moments later, Cristiano Ronaldo netted a stunning free-kick to effectively end the tie, and in the second half the Portuguese further twisted the knife into the Gunners' hearts by starting and finishing a lightning-quick counter-attack.
The only negative was Darren Fletcher's red card, meaning he missed the final against Barcelona.

United must have been thanking their lucky stars when they avoided Real Madrid and Barcelona in the semi-final draw, facing surprise package Schalke instead.
The Red Devils' utterly dominated the Germans on their own turf, and it was only thanks to a series of saves from a young Manuel Neuer that the scoreline was kept dignified.
Ryan Giggs finally found a way past the goalkeeper midway through the second half, before Wayne Rooney made it 2-0, burying the ghosts of Gelsenkirchen, where he had been sent off for England against Portugal in the 2006 World Cup.
The two sides were clearly woefully mismatched, something Ferguson appeared to underline by fielding practically a second-string side for the return leg at Old Trafford, which his side still won 4-1 to complete a crushing 6-1 scoreline on aggregate.
Getty Images7Best runs riot in Lisbon: Benfica 1-5 Man Utd (1966)
George Best was still a teenager when he visited the Estadio da Luz, but he left it a man after making a name for himself with a sensational performance against Eusebio's Benfica.
United were defending a 3-2 lead from the first leg, and in the reverse fixture, the boy from Belfast opened the scoring with a header.
He then demonstrated his pace and skill with a dash through the middle past two defenders before arrowing the ball into the net.
John Connelly, Pat Crerand and Bobby Charlton completed the rout, with the only goal Benfica managed an own goal from United's Shay Brennan.
Busby's side ended up losing in the semi-finals to Partizan Belgrade, but they had already sounded a warning to the rest of Europe, and two years later they would be back, beating Benfica in the 1968 European Cup final at Wembley.
And as in Lisbon, Best was in the thick of the action.
