Sevilla and Barça are on time today in LaLiga (9:30 p.m.) with a match corresponding to the fourth day that should have been played in September, but that it was postponed at the request of LaLiga and the Nervión club itself due to the possibility that three Argentine internationals, Papu, Acuña and Montiel, could not play because of their commitments to the champion of America in the qualifying phase for the world (Follow the game live on As.com).
It is a game against the foot, or of new time, because Who is chasing Madrid now is not Barça, but Sevilla. Si de Messi It was said that he was able to rise to the coaches, and that more than a Barça of Guardiola The Luis Enrique, there was always a Barça of Messi; The same can be said of Monchi’s Seville. Lion of San Fernando has transcended to Juande, Emery and Lopetegui. He is the philosopher’s stone of a team that, with all its injury problems, has survived to the point of having the opportunity to get within three points of Madrid.
Sevilla is also hungry for revenge, because last season he took two shots, each more unexpected. One Saturday he lost 0-2 and ran out of league options. Three days later, Barça brought them back to the Cup semifinal with an agonizing goal from Piqué who, by the way, returns to the Sánchez Pizjuán.
The Barça recovers party with the real possibility of getting into the ointment of the Champions zone. He lives in such a slide of emotions that, after being a banshee in Munich and Pamplona, now he is capable of knocking down the aspiring Sevilla on the back of that special player called Gavi, from a Betic past and who, at 17, is the great appearance of LaLiga. Around him, that gang of irreverent that he leads Abde, a street dribbler, and Nico, the presumed formal. Gavi, Nico and Abde have been joined Jutglà, the last stranger who is willing to push his way into football. This is the new Barça, the one that is not a favorite in Nervión because, this time, the hunter of the leader is Sevilla.
