LAYÚN: “IT'S A SIGN OF THE POSITIVE SYNERGY THE TEAM HAS PICKED UP”

The Mexican full-back assured ABP: "I've played in classics in my career, I know what they mean for the entire club but for me it's especially an honour to experience this specific derby because I get the impression derbies here are experienced very intensely. It's easy to hook on to the feelings that are generated day by day and it should be something unique. If we suffer, we have to suffer all together"

Miguel Layún was the start of this week's A Balón Parado. The Sevilla full-back first and foremost took us through his goal against Real Madrid: "I felt euphoria with the goal, complete euphoria. Not only for scoring at an important time but also for scoring in the Sánchez-Pizjuán which is very special for me".

We still have time to give them the happiness they all deserve

The goal did not take him by surprise as a friend had already foreseen he'd score that night: "I had a good feeling with the match. Those matches where you feel the flow of the changing room... I've had other matches where you feel worn down and tired but that hasn't happened in the last matches. I also got a message from a friend to said he was trusting me to score that night and I told him his wish was my command. The win is a reflection of the positive synergy that the team has picked up".

Once the job was done against Real Madrid, all eyes immediately turned to Saturday's megafixture with Real Betis: "you have to stay balanced because it's easy to go the other way. Two weeks ago the situation was difficult but you have to stay balanced in the good and bad moments. The win against Madrid has a lot of value but we have two finals ahead".

"I've played in classics in my career, I know what they mean for the entire club but for me it's especially an honour to experience this specific derby because I get the impression derbies here are experienced very intensely. It's easy to hook on to the feelings that are generated day by day and it should be something unique. If we suffer, we have to suffer all together".
