Sevilla (AP) – FC Sevilla gained self-confidence for the Champions League duel against Borussia Dortmund with the 14th win of the season in the Spanish soccer championship.
Seville beat SD Huesca 1-0 (0-0) at home on the 23rd matchday of the Primera División. The winning goal on Saturday was marked by Munir El Haddadi Mohamed in the 57th minute. Seville is now fourth in the table, one point behind third Real Madrid.
Second is FC Barcelona, who scored a clear 5-1 win against Deportivo Alaves in the evening and thus overtook Real and Seville, at least for the time being. Led by superstar Lionel Messi, who scored twice (45th + 1 / 75th), Barça gave the guests no chance. Trincao (29./74.) And Firpo (80.) provided the remaining goals for the team around national goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen.
The Catalans, who received Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday, are eight points behind leaders Atlético Madrid, who previously won 2-1 at Granada CF. Sevilla and BVB, who suffered the next setback in the Bundesliga on Saturday with a 2-2 draw against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, will meet on Wednesday in the first leg of the round of 16.
