Champions League: Sevilla need to “kill” Alexis Sanchez – Montella

Sevilla manager, Vincenzo Montella, has said that they may have to “kill” Manchester United’s Alexis Sanchez, to make it out of the Champions League round of 16 for the first time.

The LaLiga side were knocked out by Leicester City last year and are now hoping to make it to the Champions League quarterfinals at the fourth time of asking.

As well as hoping Paul Pogba is not well enough to play, the Italian suggested January signing Sanchez could be in for a very tough evening.

“I remember him really well from his stay in Italy.

“He has improved his style a lot during his career and I think he can be a really good player in transition. I think they have really good speed in attack.

“Well, maybe we can kill him or knock him down or something,” Montella said.
