The Seville He reached the third-to-last day of the League encouraging a dream that finally faded with the victory of Atlético de Madrid in the Wanda Metropolitano against Real Sociedad by 2-1. Lopetegui's team has been until the thirty-sixth day with mathematical options to win the League, but not even the victory over Valencia allows them to continue with options.
Simeone's men, who took a big step to win the title against Real Madrid and Barcelona, have six points more than Sevilla with six to play (two days), but they have won the particular goal average against Sevilla by winning 2- 0 in the Metropolitan Wanda, while they fell in the Sánchez Pizjuán by the minimum (1-0).
Sevilla did not reach the final days of the championship with options against the greats since the 06-07 season with Juande Ramos the year of the famous decision of Iturralde González not to whistle a clear penalty to Luis Fabiano in Son Moix against Mallorca, action that years later has recognized that it was a penalty and that with the VAR it would have been indicated. That meeting ended with 1-1 and took away the options of Sevilla.
The only league title that Sevilla has in their showcases dates back 75 years, in the 45-46 season, when they drew on the final match against Barcelona in Las Corts with a goal from Pato Araújo to become champion against the Catalans. that were seconds.
Those from Lopetegui are fighting to improve the fourth place that you currently hold. Two points from Barcelona and one from Real Madrid, although these with one game less, to beat one of them or both is now the objective.
