A TOUGH NUT
Currently fourth in the Spanish league, Sevilla are the reigning Europa League champions. They finished second in Champions League Group E this season behind Chelsea, progressing to the knockout stage for the first time since that 2-1 aggregate defeat to Bayern, who also beat the Andalusians by the same score in this season’s UEFA Super Cup. Julen Lopetegui’s side have lost only one of their 18 competitive matches since the end of the group stage (W15, D2), winning the last nine and not conceding a single goal in the last seven.
ONE PREVIOUS VISIT
Dortmund have come to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan only once before in a competitive match, earning a 2-2 draw thanks to goals from Shinji Kagawa and Neven Subotic under Jürgen Klopp in the 2010/11 UEFA Europa League group stage. Sevilla’s last Champions League knockout game here saw them lose 2-1 to Bayern in the 2017/18 quarter-finals.

Jules Kounde furthered his growing reputation as one of the world’s most exciting central defenders by scoring a stunning goal at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan before Ivan Rakitic came back to haunt his former club by adding a second late on.
The 22-year-old Kounde dribbled past three Barca defenders and shot into the corner while Rakitic’s strike turned a setback for Ronald Koeman’s side into what now looks like a formidable challenge to make the final.

Barcelona’s hopes of winning the Copa del Rey this season were left hanging by a thread on Wednesday after Sevilla won the first leg of their semi-final 2-0.

But the young Frenchman found the target five minutes later, the centre-back cheekily nutmegging Samuel Umtiti on the edge of the Barca box after a trademark buccaneering run before firing past Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
The German goalkeeper showed his class to keep the score 1-0 just before half-time, pushing Sergio Escudero's ferocious goal-bound effort over.
Umtiti made a vital intervention to deny Youssef En-Nesyri a one-on-one opportunity early in the second 45, and soon after Bounou once again thwarted Messi, turning his effort around the post.
