Last night, Sevilla sank a little further into crisis after their 2-1 defeat in stoppage time against Osasuna in La Liga. A setback which sent Neal Maupay (29), author of the Andalusians’ goal, spinning. “I am speechless. It’s a shame. We played for 90 minutes and we can’t concede a goal in the last minute. It was a very important match. We must do better. My teammates and I must challenge ourselves and progress. We are Sevilla players, and when we wear this jersey, we have to give the best of ourselves. I don’t want to be part of the story of Sevilla being relegated. It’s a disappointment for the club and for the supporters.”
The Frenchman, on loan from OM, also pointed the finger at the referee for too long added time, during which Osasuna scored the victorious goal (90th + 9). “We can talk about the referee and many other things, but that’s the problem. If we hope for a helping hand from destiny, we are wrong. Five minutes or nine, it doesn’t matter, they can’t score in the last second. I pity everyone. We will fight, but we lost on Thursday and today… It’s difficult for everyone. It really hurts, because a lot of people in the stadium are expecting wins, three points, and more from us. It’s difficult, but we will fight until the end for this history, this club and this jersey. There’s nothing else we can do.” The message got through.
