In case you lack any argument to consider yourself one of Sevilla's historic players, Ivan Rakitic reached 200 games against Getafe defending the Nervionense shirt. With his departure to the field in the second half, he rounded up a statistic that is summarized, in its two stages, in 154 matches in LaLiga, eight in the Champions League, 20 in the UEFA Europa League and 16 in the Copa del Rey, as well as a European Super Cup. In these meetings he has scored 40 goals and distributed 46 assists.
In this way, Rakitic enters what would be the starting eleven of the foreigners who have played the most times for Sevilla. And this season he can advance several places in that classification. If he returned to play the 50 games he played last year, Rakitic would become the fourth foreigner with the most matches as a Sevilla player, overtaking myths such as Daniel Alves, Kanouté, Banega or Diéguez.
Both the club and his teammates paid him various tributes after the victory in Getafe. The captain continues to make history in Nerve.
