Coke hails Sevilla fans in Basel

Sevilla captain Coke pays tribute to his club's supporters after scoring twice in a 3-1 win over Liverpool in the 2016 Europa League final.

Sevilla captain Coke has paid tribute to his club's supporters that were in attendance for the Europa League final.

Sevilla were outnumbered by Liverpool fans inside the stadium in Basel, but it was the Spanish giants that claimed the trophy courtesy of a 3-1 win.

Coke scored twice for the La Liga outfit, adding to Kevin Gameiro's equaliser as Sevilla came from behind to win the competition for a third time in succession and fifth in total.

"It seemed tough for us, they could have scored second, but this team has heart and soul and gave everything. Every summer 10 players leave and we must build a new team," Coke told reporters.

"This must be valued a lot as we have worked so hard. We knew we were not very many [Sevilla] fans. But each one [of us] is worth four [of them]."

Sevilla will now advance directly into the group stages of next season's Champions League.
