Doesn't matter whether he had a good season or not. He's not the player who's gonna match VAL's ambitions. Even his own club fans don't rate him much.
Valencia would miss out on the CL in both cases
I hold Sevilla as maybe the favorites to win the EL, so the 3rd place could be really important. 4th place could very well miss out on CL.
Of course it matters. You are criticizing him for his performance today forgetting that he has been one of their best players this season overall. Everyone can have a bad day. It was obviously his turn today.
Anyway who said anything about him being a future key player? Surely he is good enough to be a squad player at worst if Lim really decides to invest heavily. Something I doubt will happen given the FFP.
Napoli and Fiorentina are also very strong.
Moreover, Sevilla have not even knocked out Zenit yet. It will be a tough away game for them in St. Petersburg (which I will be visiting in early May!)
