With just seven games until the end of the season in La Liga Santander, Sevilla FC continue their love affair with the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán after the win against Granada CF on Friday of Sorrows. Julen Lopetegui's team want to make sure of their place in the Champions League, which they have shown they are capable of since the start of the season. For the team, it is clear that Nervión is a fundamental place in helping achieve this aim, given that even when trailing the team managed to pull through - such as in the most recent game.
Nobody can miss the fact, especially with the figures at hand, that Sevilla are the best at home, having got 37 out of a possible 45 points so far. They have also done it without losing, with 11 wins and four draws. Sevilla were equalled by Real Madrid in this stat on Saturday night after their win against Getafe at the Santiago Bernabéu. Third in this ranking is Atlético Madrid who are four points behind both sides.
Sevilla FC are unbeaten in 17 games in Nervión
But this relationship with the Sánchez-Pizjuán goes even further with the two wins from last season against Valencia CF and Deportivo Alavés making it 17 league games without defeat for Sevilla FC. This has led to the best run under Julen Lopetegui, and is historically only bettered by the run which ended in 2017 and which was 21 games - 15 wins and 6 draws.
Without a doubt, to talk of the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán is to talk of a fortress that wants to be in the Champions League for another season. All of this is achieved through the support of the fans who know what is at stake for the Sevilla team, not only in the next game against Real Madrid but also in the others against Cádiz, Mallorca and Athletic. Without forgetting about the away matches, which are also vital to get points, Nervión will be a place where maximum points will need to be gained to achieve thier aims.
