Sevilla booked their spot in the Europa League final with a 2-0 win over Fiorentina in the second leg of their semi-final on Thursday.
Holding a 3-0 lead from the first leg, Sevilla were four goals ahead in the 22nd minute when Carlos Bacca converted from close range, before Daniel Carrico made it 2-0 on the night five minutes later.
Fiorentina, who missed a number of opportunities, had the chance to register from the penalty spot in the 67th minute, but Josip Ilicic fired his effort high and wide of the crossbar.
Here, Sports Mole takes a closer look at how each player performed in Florence.

FIORENTINA
Goal
Neto: Was left isolated by his defence for both Sevilla goals and actually made a couple of really smart saves. Difficult to be too critical of the home goalkeeper's performance. (6/10)
Defence
Jose Maria Basanta: Struggled to deal with Sevilla's pace in the first period and did not offer much down the other end. Was taken off injured at the interval. (5/10)
Gonzalo Rodriguez: Had a couple of opportunities to score from corners and was very much a threat in the Sevilla box. Went missing, however, for both of Sevilla's goals. (6/10)
Stefan Savic: Won the majority of his aerial duels, but did not look comfortable when Sevilla countered, while the defender's marking from set pieces was a little questionable. (6/10)
Marcos Alonso: Really struggled to deal with Aleix Vidal in the first leg and had similar problems in this one. Just never really got to grips with his defensive work. (5/10)
Midfield
David Pizarro: Brought into the Fiorentina XI to provide more dynamism in the middle of the park and that was the case. Involved in quite a lot and won his team's second-half penalty. (6/10)
Borja Valero: Like Pizarro, Valero was a threat in the final third and came close on a couple of occasions. That said, the Spaniard was rightly booked for diving inside Sevilla's box. (6/10)
Matias Fernandez: Quite comfortably Fiorentina's best player in the first leg - despite his poor finishing - but the midfielder struggled to make his mark this time around. (5/10)
Attack
Joaquin: Will have been keen to make an impression against Sevilla, but just did not see enough of the ball. Not bad in possession, but offered little in terms of a threat. (5/10)
Josip Ilicic: Given the nod ahead of Mario Gomez, but it was a night to forget for the 27-year-old, who missed a number of chances - including from the penalty spot. (5/10)
Mohamed Salah: Always a threat on the ball and without question Fiorentina's biggest threat. Had a number of opportunities, but just could not find a route past Sergio Rico. (7/10)
Substitutes
Manuel Pasqual: Was pressed into action at the break following an injury to Basanta. Did well to pick up the pace of the game and also delivered a couple of dangerous crosses. (6/10)
Milan Badelj: Will have been disappointed not to have started in Florence, but the midfielder showed plenty of energy late on and came close with a long-range attempt. (6/10)
Andrea Lazzari: Only given the final five minutes. (6/10)

SEVILLA
Goal
Sergio Rico: Had a super night between the sticks. Forced into action on a number of occasions and showed incredible reflexes to register another clean sheet for Sevilla. (8/10)
Defence
Coke: Brought back into the team at right-back and the captain led by example. Strong at the back and a threat going forward - setting up Carrico's goal with a cushioned cross. (7/10)
Daniel Carrico: Was caught out defensively on a couple of occasions, but got his name on the scoresheet in the 27th minute. Has had a very good season for the Spanish outfit. (7/10)
Timothee Kolodziejczak: Has seen a lot of football in the Europa League this season and the centre-back had another solid game here. No-frills performance from the defender. (6/10)
Benoit Tremoulinas: Sevilla will have to fight off interest in the left-back this summer and the Frenchman further enhanced his growing reputation with another solid performance. (6/10)
Midfield
Stephane Mbia: Always seems to play well in this competition and that was again the case in Florence. Won the midfield battle with an energetic and classy performance. (8/10)
Ever Banega: Was substituted in the 55th minute, but still had time to make a really positive impression. Was involved in both goals for the Spanish side. (7/10)
Grzegorz Krychowiak: Had another excellent game in the middle of the park, but the midfielder's performance was dampened somewhat when he conceded a penalty for a poor challenge on Pizarro. (7/10)
Attack
Vitolo: Form has tailed off a little in the second half of the season, but the winger, who was also subbed in the second period, was dangerous in possession of the ball. (6/10)
Carlos Bacca: Another game, another goal for the Colombian, who showed his predatory instincts to convert from close range in the first period. Always dangerous in attack. (7/10)
Aleix Vidal: Was the hero in the first leg last week and while the Spaniard did not repeat that stunning performance, he caused Fiorentina number of problems. (7/10)
Substitutes
Vicente Iborra: Has found it difficult to get into the Sevilla team in recent weeks, but the Spaniard was nice and composed during his 35 minutes on the field. (6/10)
Kevin Gameiro: Has been the master at coming off the bench and scoring this season, but the Frenchman fired a super chance over the crossbar in the latter stages. (6/10)
Jose Antonio Reyes: Given the final 15 minutes and the Spaniard had a couple of opportunities to showcase his dribbling skills to the Fiorentina faithful. (6/10)
