David de Gea is Mourinho’s number one choice for goal again. In a match as big as this one, this choice was a no-brainer. In the first half, the Spaniard did not face many shots. However, the shots he faced he made quick work to save. Despite Sevilla maintaining possession for a lot of the first half, they never had many chances to take shots.

David de Gea did his all to try and match his performance in the first leg, but the Spaniard was unlucky in the second leg.
