FOURTH IN THE 21ST CENTURY

In the 21st century, Sevilla FC have rediscovered the glory which was lost to a certain extent over the course of the second half of the previous century. The greatness of the teams of the 30s, 40s and 50s returned, despite the fact that the club began the century in the second division. The numbers are irrefutable. Sevilla FC are in the Champions League places for the 21st century. To be precise, they are in fourth place in the top flight, with 975 points, 90 behind third-placed Valencia CF. Real Madrid, with 1,418, and Barcelona, with 1,399, lead the historic LaLiga ranking for the current century.
