I didn't want the game to end -

The coach of Sévilla Matias Almeyda yesterday appreciated the hammer of Barcelona from his team in Barcelona, he later admitted that he had never wanted the match to end.

While a large part of the objective in Catalonia was centered on the decision to grant a penalty to Seville after Ronald Araujo stolen with Isaac Romero in the box, leading to the opening of Alexis Sanchez, the victory was well deserved for a side of Seville who played with passion and goal.

Romero made 2-0 before the Marcus Rashford format draws one back for the reigning champions.

The key moment came with 14 minutes to do when Robert Lewandowski missed room and Seville took advantage of their good fortune with late goals from Jose Angel Carmona and Akor Adams to fill a catchy victory.

“Ten years have passed since the previous victory over Barcelona,” said Almeyda. “We had a game plan that had its risks and in which the team had to believe. And they did it.

“It was an excellent match, for everything, for the pleasure of people. The question of why we cannot win home is eliminated.

Seville fans take advantage of the historic victory

The Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan was sworn at the end and Almeyda hopes that the link between players and fans will develop more.

He added: “I think the fans’ party is normal, I haven’t seen anything like it for a long time.

“Fans want to see that the players give their soul. And when the players give their soul sooner or later, the result will arrive.

“We must continue with this union. Today was a spectacular atmosphere. I was excited and I didn’t want this game to end. I wanted him to continue, because our fans need happiness.

“And fortunately today, we have given ourselves, we have given ourselves. We are a family and that’s what it is. I think fans assess everyone’s efforts and as long as we give them results, they will be happy.”

Sevilla heads in the right direction – Almeyda

Seville enters the international break in sixth place at La Liga and Almeyda hopes to be able to rely on the victory on Barça when the action resumes in fifteen.

“I know where we are and where we want to go,” he said. “And I communicated this to the players. A victory or a defeat will not change our work. The victories give more confidence, of happiness, but we will work after the game while I show it and I will continue to do it until I see that the team works perfectly.

“I’m looking for points and we are going in this direction.”
