Tuesday night saw all Sevilla players wrap up their international duties for this month and they did so in winning fashion. All matches were competitive, except for Morocco's friendly win against Burkina Faso in Lens, in the same stadium where we will play in the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage. The match was decided by a goal from Marseille midfielder Azzedine Ounahi. With four minutes to go, the Sevilla man was replaced by El Kaabi.

The remaining three fixtures were part of Euro 2024 qualifying. The only Sevilla player to start on the evening - as he has in every other international fixture in 2023 - was Orjan Nyland, whose Norway side beat Georgia 2-1. Goals from Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland keep Norway's third-place position in their group behind Scotland and Spain, who have a game in hand. Meanwhile, Dodi Lukebakio's Belgium beat Estonia in Belgium also beat Estonia in Brussels in a convincing display, with goals from Jan Vertonghen and Leandro Trossard in the first half. A Romelu Lukaku brace sealed the victory by the hour mark, when the Sevilla forward replaced Yannick Carrasco. Charles De Ketelaere then put the icing on the cake. Belgium sit top of their group, albeit level on points (13) with Austria but a comfortable six points ahead of Sweden.

Rounding off the international break for Sevilla, Djibril Sow also enjoyed victory with Switzerland against Andorra in Sion. Wrapping up the night. They took until the fourth minute of the second half to go ahead through Itten, then 17 minutes later it was Sow's turn to replace Freuler in midfield. In those final minutes, Xhaka and Shaqiri were on hand to underpin the win for the Swiss, who now lead their group by three points.
