Sevilla's Fernando received messages from City fans after his side beat Man Utd in the Europa League

When Sevilla knocked Manchester United out of the Europa League two months ago it wasn't just the club's own supporters left celebrating.

'I received a lot of messages from Manchester City fans congratulating me. It's always good to beat Manchester United,' says Fernando Reges who is back in England on Tuesday night to face Chelsea in the Champions League.

That 2-1 semi-final win over Manchester United in Cologne was the game Sevilla should never have won. United had 20 shots to the Spanish side's nine but few sides are more resilient, and few players embody that resilience better than the Brazilian midfielder.
