Navas Named Europa League Player Of The Season

Sevilla’s Jesus Navas was named Europa League Player of the Season on Sunday after the 37-year-old was a key part of his side’s record-extending seventh success in the competition.

Navas played a pivotal role in Wednesday’s final against AS Roma, delivering a cross that lad to an equaliser for the Spanish side, who won 4-1 on penalties following a 1-1 draw.

The Sevilla captain made nine appearances in Uefa’s second-tier competition and had three assists.

Bayer Leverkusen’s 20-year-old midfielder Florian Wirtz was Europa League Young Player of the Season, helping the Germans reach the semifinals before losing 1-0 on aggregate to Roma.
