Head coach Matías Almeyda spoke at the pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s game against FC Barcelona. The Argentine coach began by highlighting that "the week has gone like all of them, with enthusiasm and desire. It’s better coming off the back of a win. Now our minds are on this difficult opponent. We have one more training session and we’ll see how we head into the game.”

"We have three points to lose and we don’t want to lose them. We respect all opponents, we know all the good things they have, and we are studying everything to fight with our own strengths. We have good players and our fans. Hopefully, it goes well for us," he continued.

"We will try to achieve what we couldn’t yet against this opponent who has ambitions of winning the Champions League”

Almeyda also pointed out that "I hardly ever speak just to look good. I aim to be consistent and to seek realities, which exist between the two teams. But football is eleven against eleven; it’s difficult but not impossible. We will try to achieve what we couldn’t yet against this opponent who has ambitions of winning the Champions League. Our aim is to be strong, put up a fight and compete eleven against eleven.”

"It has been hard to win two games in a row even though we’ve picked up some good results. Beyond the result, because we need the points, we are looking for things to click and that depends on the opponents. We are seeking consistency and that takes time," he added.

"We want to give everything without worrying about the result, because in the long run it will be good"

"Sevilla’s fans are very strong, and on Sunday we will see it again. Let’s hope we are up to the task to give back that constant support. The fans pay for a ticket because they want to see their team fight and give everything they have. The fans are smart and know the opponents we face. We want to give everything without worrying about the result, because in the long run it will be good," he concluded, speaking about the fans.
