Sevilla lost their final summer test in the BayArena, with a defeat against Bayer Leverkusen. The team from Seville took the lead in the 16th minute with a goal from Miguel Sierra, but Leverkusen came back in the second half with two goals from Patrik Schick. Despite the efforts of Nico Guillén, Sevilla couldn't equalize the score. The team of Carles Martínez had their best chance at half-time, but Equi Fernández's shot was deflected. Sevilla deflated in the second half when Carles Martínez's substitutions arrived. The team of García Plaza is now focusing on their league debut, in a week's time, against Rayo Vallecano in the Sánchez-Pizjuán. García Plaza will then opt for a very similar eleven to today's, waiting for the new developments that may arise, sooner rather than later, especially in the attack. Sevilla has a balance of 39 goals for and 51 against, with a -12 goal difference. The team is in 16th place in the league table, with 34 points, 9 wins, 7 draws and 15 losses in 31 games. Sevilla is 45 points behind the league leaders, Barcelona. Sevilla's next game will be against Real Madrid in the Sánchez-Pizjuán, on February 21, 2027.
