Augustinsson aims to start in the Champions five years later

Augustinsson aims to start against Salzburg as the Swede is the natural replacement for the injured Acuña. The position is played with Karim Rekik, although the shortage of centrals in Lopetegui’s squad suggests that the Dutchman will wait on the bench in case any incident occurs with Koundé or Diego Carlos. In this way, Augustinsson could start playing in Europe again five years later.

The ex of Werder Bremen has already been used in this Champions League, although their participation is reduced to less than half an hour between the visit to the Little and the discount of the triumph over the Wolfsburg. In fact, Augustinsson only accumulated six games in the Champions League before joining Sevilla and to analyze them we must go back to the 15/16 season when he was a member of Copenhagen.

Chance has wanted Augustinsson to be able to start again just five years after his dismissal in the Champions League. That night the Copenhagen defeated the Witches 0-2 away from home and the Sevilla winger today gave an assist. Undoubtedly, a result and a performance that Augustinsson and all Sevilla fans sign to repeat now.
