Julen Lopetegui's Sevilla FC, as well as beating SD Eibar last night to improve their chances of qualifying for the Champions League and keeping a fourteenth league clean sheet, also set another record. Avoiding defeat last night now means this is the first time Sevilla FC have gone eleven consecutive league matches unbeaten in the same season.
Since the 2-1 defeat in Vigo at the start of February; Espanyol, Getafe, Osasuna, Atlético de Madrid, Betis, Levante, Barcelona, Villarreal, Valladolid, Leganés and Eibar have all been unable to beat the Blanquirrojos, with five wins and six draws giving the side 21 points out of 33. This is their best run since 2008, when the team went five unbeaten at the end of 2007/08 and seven unbeaten at the start of 2008/09, a run of twelve matches.
Sevilla FC have 13 points from 21 since lockdown, with 3 wins and 4 draws
After the lockdown, where it was anyone's guess how the teams would respond after three months, Sevilla have picked up 13 points, with three wins and four draws, consolidating themselves as the second best away side and the fifth best at home after the win last night.
It is also worth adding that, by adding the two matches against CFR Cluj in the UEFA Europa League, with two draws sending Sevilla through on away goals, the Nervionenses have gone thirteen unbeaten in all competitions.
13 matches unbeaten in all competitions
On Thursday, the team have another opportunity to extend their unbeaten run against Athletic Club in Bilbao, as the side look to continue breaking records.
