Sevilla were in even more trouble with 10 players after Jules Kunde get a red card and was sent off in the second half. They have only resisted the onslaught of Barcelona. However, Sevilla's defense was admirable.
I assume after missing Kunde, Sevilla coach applied a defensive strategy. Unfortunately, a defensive strategy isn't the right choice to deal with Barcelona players who totally control the game. Barcelona became more offensive and create 23 shots. Luckily, Sevilla defenders are quite strong and Barcelona attackers still cannot get the right way to score effectively.
By the way, Atlético lost today for the 4th time in a row in La Liga
I don't know when this happened the last time, but I saw information that three defeats in a row were already 10 years ago.
Yep. We rarely saw Atletico defeated in a row more than twice, while this time it was already 4 times.
The biggest problem is in their defense. They have a crisis of central defenders, losing both their strongest CB (Savic & Gimenez). Also, 1 Right-Back (Sime Vrsaljko) is injured as well. Atletico Madrid is very unlucky this time.
