OCAMPOS MAKES 500TH CAREER CLUB APPEARANCE

Although Sunday night's match at the Santiago Bernabéu ended in defeat, it was a special night in Lucas Ocampos's career. The Argentine, who is in his fifth season with us since arriving in the summer before the 2019/20 campaign, reached the milestone of 500 professional club appearances against Real Madrid at the age of 29. His start against Real Madrid brought his tally for the club to 195 appearances as a Sevilla player. 

His almost 200 games in a Sevilla shirt represent the largest share of his professional career at 39%, more than any other team. It is therefore justified to point to us as the main club in Ocampos's footballing life, having lifted two UEFA Europa League titles - making 19 appearances in the competition - and has so far bagged 43 goals and 20 assists in 140 league, 18 Champions League, 16 Copa del Rey and two European Super Cup final appearances.

The breakdown of the rest of his career is as follows: 98 matches for AS Monaco, 40 for River Plate, 17 for Genoa, 12 for AC Milan and 6 for Ajax, who he joined on loan last year. Ocampos continues to impress on the pitch, constantly showing his determination and dedication to the club, no matter what position he's asked to play. His next milestone will be 200 games for the club.
