MADRID (Reuters) - Celta Vigo will have to upset the odds when they face English heavyweights Manchester United in the Europa League semi-finals, but will be confident of emulating fellow Spaniards Sevilla who won the competition in the last three seasons.

Based in a city of around 300,000 people in the northeastern region of Galicia, the club lacks the footballing pedigree of United or the other semi-finalists, Olympique Lyonnais and Ajax Amsterdam.
