In the 17th round of La Liga, which ended on December 17, none of the three teams representing La Liga in this season's Champions League have been able to win. Barcelona drew 1-1 with Valencia and Atletico Madrid lost 0-2 to Athletic Bilbao. Sevilla is even worse, 0-3, losing 6 of 9 games! The seven-time European champion collapsed on both fronts, and the coach was sacked in the most humiliating way.
Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are both winless away from home, while Sevilla suffered a heavy defeat at home to Getafe. In this game, just five minutes into the game, Sevilla conceded a goal, with a penalty opportunity, Mayoral scored from the spot, Sevilla fell behind 0-1. In the 36th minute, Mason Greenwood sent a clever pass and Juan Mata scored the ball to make it 2-0 for Sevilla.
After that, although Sevilla FC fought hard and had more possession, it did not work, but they gave another big gift in the 80th minute, with defender Alexis Sanchez converting twice and Mason Greenwood converting the spot-kick to give Sevilla a three-goal deficit to Getafe.
In the last nine games in all competitions, Sevilla have only won one, drawn two and lost six, losing to Arsenal, Real Sociedad, PSV Eindhoven, Mallorca, Lens and Getafe. Sevilla were also Europa League winners last season, winning the Europa League seven times in their history and are the kings of the competition, but this season they failed to qualify for the Champions League and failed to finish third in the group, finishing bottom of the Champions League seeds. In the La Liga table, Sevilla are currently fifth from bottom, level on points with Cadiz, who are in the relegation zone.
Obviously, Sevilla have been in a difficult situation in Europe and in the domestic league this season and are in a terrible situation at the moment. After the defeat to Getafe, Sevilla also made a quick decision to change the coach, and the team's coach Diego Alonso left.
Diego Alonso's Uruguay side exited the group at the World Cup in Qatar and now leads the team to just two wins in 14 games in Sevilla, leading them to defeats lower division sides Quintana de la Odten and Astor Gar in the Copa del Rey. In La Liga and the Champions League, Diego Alonso led the team to 5 draws and 7 losses without winning, and Sevilla under his command was basically bullied, Diego Alonso's coaching performance was a shame, and it was normal to be fired by Sevilla.
Where will Sevilla go next, and will they succeed in relegation?
