The end of the season is approaching in Spain. And if Sevilla FC, 18th and therefore relegated last April, began to fall into a negative spiral, the Andalusians now seem ready to finish in style on the other side of the Pyrenees. Currently, the team led by Luis Garcia Plaza is 12th in La Liga and has thus reached several levels… in just two weeks. This Sunday at 7 p.m., at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán stadium, Neal Maupay’s teammates will host Real Madrid for the 37th day of the championship, and this duel could be decisive. Indeed, the most successful club in the Europa League (7 times) is determined to get back on track against the Merengues (2nd). Faced with a team in crisis, which is giving points very easily to its opponents this season, there is no doubt that a draw or victory is affordable.
With three victories in a row – against Real Sociedad, Espanyol, Villarreal – and four successes in their last six La Liga matches, Sevilla seems to have all the cards in hand to create the feat and sneak into the top 10 with ambition. Carried by an attack composed of the former number 9 of OM and the Nigerian Akor Adams, the Sevillians surprise and demonstrate that the turnaround is therefore possible two days before the end of the championship. And since everyone thought that the direction of training was impacting the south of Spain, that it was necessary to take radical measures and change those responsible, a major element had knocked on the door during the 2026 school year.
A savior named Sergio Ramos
The 40-year-old Spaniard is far from the lawns… and not so far from the offices. After his time in Mexico, with the Rayados de Monterrey, the former player of the house would be ready to take charge of his training club. At the start of the week, El Partidazo de COPE assured that an agreement had been reached for the takeover of Seville, following a meeting between the different parties on Tuesday morning. If the Ramos plan is now activated, he would occupy a fundamental role in a place where he grew up, knowing that the function of president remains possible. Having passed through Seville between 2003 and 2006 then during the 2023-24 financial year, the former La Roja rearguard knows this environment well.
Despite the comments of José María del Nido Carrasco, president of the Rojiblancos, who had indicated that he would not be capable of holding a position of high responsibility, this is clearly what is emerging in this month of May. It is therefore obvious to say that the revolution is now taking place on all levels: on the green rectangles and in the offices. And in this spicy context, it is clear that against Kylian Mbappé’s teammates, Sevilla is playing much more than a match: it is certainly playing its future. Of course, its future is still undecided, but this wave of upheavals could give new impetus to an entire people who have fought. The hour of rebirth has come.
