The Nervión side is set to contest the two-legged tie on February 16 and 23, with the first leg hosted at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán and the return leg scheduled away. This pairing marks a notable moment as Sevilla aims to advance through the knockout rounds in Europe’s secondary competition after a campaign that saw them miss out on the Champions League group stage but still compete in the continent’s premier club tournament.
Sevilla entered the 2022-2023 European campaign in Europe’s second tier, stepping back from the Champions League despite a strong history in European football. After finishing third in their group behind Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund, they exited the top competition and prepared for the Europa League knockout rounds. Their opponent in the round of 32 was the Dutch club PSV Eindhoven, giving Sevilla a testing but familiar path through the early stages of the knockout rounds. This fixture was anticipated as a stern test for both teams as they aimed to reassert themselves on the continental stage.

A week later, the second leg was staged on Dutch soil at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven.
