Llorente wants to win a European final

Sevilla is on the look out for their third consecutive UEFa Europa League title, while they are doing that striker Fernando Llorente is looking to play his second consecutive European final after reaching the Champions League final last year with Juventus. But unfortunately for him, Llorente has lost the two finals he has played with both Juventus and Athletic Bilbao. With the Basque team he reached the Europa League final back in 2012, but they lost it against Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid. 

Llorente confessed that he wants to win the title, during an interview with UEFA.com he analyzed his chanced ahead of next Thursday's Europa League clash against former club Athletic Bilbao in the quarter-finals: "I really want [to win the Europa League]. Both the Europa League and the Champions League finals were good experiences but had a bad outcome. It's like a thorn in your side that you want to remove but you never know when you might have the chance. I hope it happens this season.

"Sevilla have a real desire to win this competition. It would be unique and quite incredible, because I don't think any team have done it three years in a row. I'm really enjoying this competition - it brings back wonderful memories of my Athletic days - as are my team-mates who have had such success in the Europa League."

About facing his former club, Llorente confessed that he feels a little weird about it: "It was a surprise having to face the club where I started playing but it will be nice. It will be strange as well, though, because I spent 17 wonderful years of my life in Bilbao. I am proud to have come through a big club like Athletic. It was always an honor to play for them."
