Luis García Plaza has the chance to match Sevilla FC's best season start in two decades if he can lead the team to a third consecutive LaLiga victory over Atlético de Madrid. The Sevillista manager aims to replicate the feat last achieved in the 2006-07 season under Juande Ramos, when the club won its first three matches. After coming from behind to defeat Rayo Vallecano at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán and securing a convincing win at San Mamés against Athletic Club, Sevilla FC currently leads LaLiga with six points from two games, a 2W-0D-0L record, and a +3 goal difference, according to our verified live data. This strong beginning places the club in rare company, as only eight times in its history has Sevilla begun the league with three straight wins. The last occasion was precisely in 2006-07, when Ramos’ side beat Levante 4-0 at home, defeated Betis 3-2 also at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, and edged past Real Sociedad 1-3 away, scoring ten goals and conceding just three. ABC Deportes reported that the upcoming clash against Atlético de Madrid presents the opportunity to equal that record, a feat that has only happened once more in the 21st century: in 2021-22 under Julen Lopetegui, when Sevilla won its first two matches but drew 1-1 with Elche in the third. Prior to 2006-07, the last three-match winning start occurred in 1991-92, with victories over Athletic Club, Barcelona, and Real Sporting. Should Sevilla defeat Atlético de Madrid in their next fixture, scheduled for August 29 at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, they would not only match the best start since 2006-07 but also reach nine points, level with Barcelona and Valencia from that historic season, albeit with a superior goal difference. Such a result would significantly boost the team’s ambitions this campaign, especially as Atlético Madrid arrives at the match following a 2-2 home draw with Villarreal and a 2-0 opening-day win over Málaga. Furthermore, it will be the Colchoneros’ first away game of the season. In the previous campaign, Atlético lost 2-1 at the Sánchez-Pizjuán while Luis García Plaza was already in charge of Sevilla, adding extra motivation for the local boss. With a committed squad and a solid foundation, Sevilla FC has the opportunity to assert its presence at the top of LaLiga, a progression fans can monitor closely via our fixtures and standings to stay updated on the team’s performance throughout the season.
