Sevilla has won the 2015 UEFA Europa League Final. The competition is the 44th season of Europe’s secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA and the sixth season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League.
The match was played at the Stadion Narodowy in Warsaw, Poland between Ukrainian side Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk and the 2014 winners, Spanish side Sevilla.
Sevilla will earn the right to play against the winners of the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League in the 2015 UEFA Super Cup.
Striker Nikola Kalinic, put Dnipro ahead after seven minutes, but two quick goals from Grzegorz Krychowiak and Bacca the Spanish side a 2-1 lead.
Captain, Ruslan Rotan, however, drew the Ukrainian side level on the stroke of half-time, Bacca’s scored the second of the game in the 73rd-minute which secured Unai Emery’s side’s a second Europa League trophy in two seasons.

The match was, however, overshadowed by the collapse of Brazilian forward Matheus, who had to be stretchered off in the 89th minute after going down with no-one around him, shortly after a clash of heads with a Sevilla man.

Brazilian forward, Matheus collapsed but was stretched off in a better condition.
They will also for the first time automatically qualify for the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League even if they do not qualify through their domestic league position.
They are guaranteed to enter at the group stage, since the 2015 Champions League finalists (Juventus and Barcelona) have already qualified for the group stage via their domestic leagues, therefore the space in the group stage reserved for the Champions League title holders will not be used.
