The derby between Sevilla and Betis will once again measure the forces of Jesús Navas and Joaquín. He has more ballots to start the first than the second, but the stake will mean the ninth round between the two defending the shirts of their current teams. And each of them had four triumphs. The scale could fall to one side in tomorrow's crash.

Navas is 35 years old and Joaquín 39. But their captaincies do not have an expiration date.. The contracts of both end this coming June, but there are no doubts in Nervión or Heliópolis about who will continue in their teams. For Navas it is not being a simple course: he missed more games than expected due to injury and his sights are also set on a European Championship that could have him as a protagonist in the Spanish team. Joaquín gave prominence as the days went by, but Pellegrini always flatters his figure, both for his leadership in the dressing room and for his level of play. He was already decisive in appearances from the bench and the club itself insists that its renewal is only a matter of time.

Jesús Navas points to fixed in the eleven of Lopetegui and Joaquín may wait his turn as a substitute luxury after missing the appointment of the first round because of the coronavirus. It will be a new challenge for the two players, who experienced ups and downs this season despite continuing to be untouchable references. Both are symbols of the derby. Legends without expiration.
