Los Rojiblancos could count themselves unlucky not to have established a first-leg lead last week, but only had themselves to blame for not putting the tie to bed in the return. <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Pablo Machín looked horrified when Slavia snatched a late goal</strong>, and for good reason - his side were out of the competition and by this morning he was out of a job</span></div> <div class="entry-body__widgets" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </div> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">sevilla's thoughts now return to the league, which hasn't been going well. Yes, they won a thriller against Real Sociedad last weekend, but that was only their second win in 11.
