Sevilla FC are just one point away, with six still to play for, from securing a Champions League spot for next season. Jorge Sampaoli's side are on the verge of qualifying through their league position, which they have not done since the 09/10 season and which would be just reward for the exceptional league campaign the team have had.
Of the 36 rounds of games played so far, Sevilla FC have been among the top four for as many as 33 of them. They have only found themselves outside the Champions League places on matchday 4, in fifth place, matchday 6, in sixth place, and matchday 11, in fifth place.
As a result, Sevilla FC have spent 25 consecutive matchdays in the Champions League places in a season which has seen the side record 20 wins, 9 draws and just 7 defeats, only one of which has come at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, which, as has been the case in previous seasons, has become a real fortress.
