While waiting for the clash between Atlético de Madrid (4th) and FC Barcelona (5th), scheduled for this Sunday at 4:15 p.m., but also the poster between Real Madrid, leader of the championship, and Granada, the 23rd day of La Liga will take place. continued, this Saturday at 9 p.m. At El Sadar Stadium in Pamplona, Osasuna (12th, 28 pts) therefore welcomed Sevilla (2nd, 46 pts), runner-up to Madrid at kick-off. Under the eyes of just over 17,000 spectators, Julen Lopetegui’s men who remained on two consecutive draws therefore presented themselves in 3-4-3 where the new Sevillian recruit Martial was associated with En-Nesyri at the forefront. Opposite, the Rojillos, who fell Granada the previous day, presented themselves in 4-3-3. A tactical style opposition which however led to a very disappointing first act. Masters of possession (71% in the first period), the Sevillians were very uninspired on the offensive level.
Illustration of this amorphous attack game, the teammates of Martial, author of a timid breakthrough shortly before the half-hour mark, returned to the locker room without having fired a single shot on goal! Well in place defensively and with effective pressing, Osasuna thus thwarted the 2nd in La Liga. Harmless during the first 45 minutes, the Blanquirrojos were also disappointing after returning from the locker room. Despite two scares initiated by En-Nesyri (62nd) and Koundé (85th), entered on the hour mark, Sevilla conceded the draw (0-0). A zero and blank score that does not help anyone. Twelfth, Osasuna misses the opportunity to integrate the first part of the table. For its part, Seville, still second, could let Real Madrid slip away and see its great Sevillian rival get closer.
