Sevilla president Castro: We can make history Champions League - Manchester United vs Sevilla Previewed the trip to Old Trafford

There is optimism in the Sevilla camp ahead of their Champions League last 16 second leg against Manchester United, with president Jose Castro confident that the team can pull off a historic result.

Not since the 1957/58 season have they made it to the final eight of the European Cup, but Castro thinks they can do it on Tuesday night.

"We will try to come up with a brace act in the mythical stadium of Old Trafford," he told journalists ahead of Sevilla's flight to England.

"We're close to achieving something important after 60 years of not being present in the quarter-finals.

"When you get to this stage you come up against teams that have several times your own budget, but we have a chance to make history."

Asked about the current struggles to score goals, Castro admitted that this has been a problem, but remained positive.

"It's a shame," he said.

"The lack of clinical finishing is weighing us down a little.

"We're creating lots of chances, so the goals will come if we keep playing as we have been."

The clash against Manchester United kicks off at 20:45 CET on Tuesday evening.
