Sevilla have headed to Lille, where tomorrow at 9:00 p.m. he has a vital match in his aspirations to qualify for the next round of the Champions. The draws in the first two days, where he was closer to falling than winning, are a first warning for a team that is called to lead its group in Europe. This final on French territory will be played again without Youssef En-Nesyri, who could already touch the ball yesterday, but who Lopetegui has not wanted to force, knowing that now important games are also coming in the League and also in the Champions League, with the visit of Lille himself to the Sánchez-Pizjuán.

An absence of the Moroccan who will be replaced by Rafa Mir. The Cartagena striker is sweet. After the stick that meant for him not to score in his last two starts, when En-Nesyri was in the infirmary, Specially in Wolfsburg, where he did have options to do so, the rematch forward with a new goal in the League against the Celtic on the last day, in his only shot on goal. A goal worth three points. He already has three goals in the domestic competition with three starts and 305 minutes. He scores practically one goal per game and is assuming that role requested by the coach, who wants him to deploy his football in all the attack front, even starting from the left, exploiting the virtues of ‘9’.

A new opportunity for the striker in the Champions League in a game where his success in the auction will be needed to achieve victory. Where the coach has the least worries is in the back, with the return to the call of Jules Koundé. Despite not traveling to Vigo and missing the last training session, his minor annoyances have not prevented him from traveling to the neighboring country and the coach will count on him to form a central team with Diego Carlos, who also returns to the list after serving a penalty game. Likewise, the Papu Gomez has joined the expedition, so Lopetegui will be able to have the eleven that convinces him the most, with the exception that for the attack point it only has Rafa Mir. En-Nesyri will have to wait. The goal bears only one signature.
