The start of the group stage of the current Champions League draw is going quite well. After a draw last week with Shakhtar Donetsk (1:1), the Galacticos have already closed the issue with reaching the playoffs, where three wins and a draw correspond to ten points. In addition, the team won in El Clasico, after which they easily dealt with Elche (3:0) and the newly-minted owner of the Golden Ball, Karim Benzema, was noted in the protocol. What’s more, for the first time in La Liga history, a team had three goals canceled with VAR, a testament to how dominated Carlo Ancelotti’s part-rotation side that evening. Before this duel, the “whites” had nine wins and no losses, which in the end corresponds to 28 points and the first position in the standings. The attack played brilliantly, which differed 25 times. Courtois, Diaz and Ceballos, who has a hip injury, will not be able to play today.
Sevilla managed to make little progress after a terrible start to the season. Jorge Sampaoli marked his second coming with a series of four unbeaten matches. What is noteworthy, if in the match against Mallorca the team managed to win minimally, then three draws were obtained with a score of 1:1, including the last game against Valencia, where the game was saved by Lamela’s kick three minutes before the end of the match. What is alarming is the fact that the Red-Whites have scored only three times in the second half this season, which calls into question the team’s ability to go the distance of the match, especially with such a strong opponent as today. Nevertheless, in 10 rounds the team has two successful matches and four draws, which corresponds to 10 points and 12th position, where it is quite unusual to see Nervions. Salas, Rkeik, Corona, Nianza and Fernando, who has coronavirus, will not be able to play today.
