The people from Seville did not go beyond a draw in their duel against Borussia Dortmund and it is almost impossible for them to advance to the knockout stages of the Champions League
Sevilla still do not know the victory with jorge sampaoli The Argentine coach arrived two games ago to replace Julen Lopetegui and has won 1-1 against Athletic and Borussia Dortmund. These last tables have greatly complicated the permanence of the team in the Champions League.
The Seville club adds two points after four days tied with Copenhagen in that record. In front, Dortmund has 7 points and City is off 10. Mathematically, the Andalusian team is not eliminated, but it does not depend on itself to reach the round of 16.
In fact, there have only been two other groups with an identical score to this one after 4 games played in the entire history of the Champions League and the precedents are not good for the Seville. It happened in group D in the 2006-07 season and in group H in 2017-18. In both situations, those who were first and second at this point qualified.
Sevilla took the lead in Germany and had hope for much of the first half after a goal from Tanguy Nianzou. With 20 years and 126 daysthe French footballer became the youngest player to score with the Seville club in the Champions League, surpassing the previous mark of the Argentine Diego Perottiwho scored against CSKA Moscow in March 2010 at the age of 21 years and 233 days.
Bellingham appeared again
The boys from Sampaoli, however, found that sensation of European football that is Jude Bellingham. The Englishman, who already scored in the first leg, matched the match and became the only one in this edition of the Champions League to score in all the games played till the date.
By the way, that data is only found in their careers by Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé before they were 20 years old. Although Bellingham, unlike the stars of City and Paris Saint Germain, He does not play as a center forward, not even remotely, acquiring much more value in these numbers.
Sevilla is facing a situation that has been common in the last decade having fallen to the Europa League from the Champions League in the 2015/16 season when they became champions and more recently in the last season reaching the quarterfinals of the competition.
The team led by Jorge Sampaoli that pass will be played in a fratricidal duel against Copenhagen on the next day. It is clear that they need to win yes or yes to save a season that has become very complicated after making a transfer market far from expectations. Any time passed was better.
