  • The best of the rest in Spanish football for the last 15-20 years, Sevilla have won a record breaking six UEFA Europa League titles since 2006, they have qualified for the UEFA Champions League in each of the last three seasons, and it's 20 years since they last finished outside the top half of the La Liga table.
    Yet, almost halfway through the current season, the club from Andalusia is languishing towards the foot of Spain's top flight, and look to be in a relegation scrap.
    In this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at the rise and fall of Sevilla, what has gone wrong for the kings of the Europa League, and whether there is any way back.

    As a Roma fan, the 2018 transfer window's effects are still felt till this day. We somehow went from Champions League regulars and occasional title pretenders to struggling to get to the Europa League in the span of two seasons and in perpetual rebuilding.
    Monchi's mistakes were quite shocking and a lot of questions remain to be answered. Like why he preferred Pastore to Ziyech, who got extremely close to Roma thanks to Totti's efforts. Totti also ended up resigning after feeling like he wasn't listened to.

Signing famous players who are way past their prime on free transfers, but paying them enormously inflated wages? Struggling to score goals and flirting with relegation? If it wasn't for all the success and the titles that Sevilla have had in the past twenty or so years, I would think that you are talking about my beloved misery - Everton Football Club.

      Exactly, real sociedad got quite a lot of money selling players, specially with the 70 millions with Isaac, but they still had to buy really cheap
      Villareal bought cheap was well, despite of reach the semifinals of the Champions
      Betis struggled a ton to be able to fit all of their Squad at the beggining of the season
      Barça selled a lot of pasive incoming for get money at short time, but with a choice that Will be bad at long terms
      Real Madrid have barely speended money this last 3-4 years even if they won several trophies
      Sevilla: sold a ton of players, including kounde for around 60 millions euros, but barely bought any player ( and that's why they are soo fucked Up )
      And i could go on, the rest of the teams are way, worse than Barça and Madrid, only rayo vallecano and Osasuna are making kind of a underdoogs, Osasuna because they have a decent team without the necesity of hire more players and rayo vallecano becuase they play football really Well, look how they won agains Madrid, playing better than 80% of the teams

    Idk if I'm alone on that, but Sevilla in La Liga kinda reminds me of Braga in Portugal, they are trying to break the big 3 clubs' dominance (Porto, Benfica and Sporting), but haven't won a league title yet. When it matters most, Braga loses it all in the final third of the season, when it's always so promising from them when they actually achieve great results against the Big Three. This season in Portugal might bring a surprise champion, let's see.

    I've been a Sevilla fan for a while now.
    This year has been chaotic and just plain bad. Januzaj is just baffling, doesn't care if he plays or not. His hands may been tied this summer but Monchi did a bad job, that's just a fact. The fanbase would agree. The transfers were just made like 5 days before the start of the league. Even free transfers as Isco, Januzaj or loans like Dolberg. It was just weird, so weird. The money they have is nothing compared to premier league clubs (wich is a big big problem in my opinion). Like you said at the end. Relegation teams in Premier League can pay way more.
    The Isco transfer get's a lot of laughs now, but almost all fans would agree that he and Bounou were by far the best players in the squad.
    Ocampos was so bad last season that everyone was happy to get him out.
    It's sad to see that a club like this with an amazing stadium and amazing fans is doing this bad.
    For my the midfield is by far the biggest problem, energy is what they lack the most. That's as clear as day. the aging midfield is sad to watch.

    The Elche situation further east is pretty much of similar magnitude of points loss pace, but is probably even more baffling as the roster's not that old, most of La Liga's been selling talent and not buying (getting worse) while Elche's been standing still which should have lifted the team which finished 13th upwards. Instead, Elche's got 4 points in 20th, 12 points behind safety which is Sevilla in 17th. The problem might be how Elche's owner is an Argentinian who is really fond of signing Argentinian players for only a bit more than River Plate or Boca Juniors selling "We're in La Liga" as the recruitment point in a league where you can't rapidly recruit young non-naturalized Argentinians of any quality whether on free transfer or a fee which have the highest potential for improving the squad and squad finances. Naturalized dual nationals, he can easily sign and there's no shortage of them in Spain whether they grew up in Spain or moved then naturalized as footballers.

    Exactly nailed the point that clubs like sevilla that operate on developing youth/buying cheap players to then sell for profit in top leagues really suffers in the modern game. It works for clubs in leagues they dominate I.E Benfica,Porto, Ajax & PSV. But is becoming very hard for clubs in leagues like the Serie A, La liga, Ligue 1, bundesliga. Ajax & Benfica are able to sell there best players and still regularly win the league because they are so much ahead of the rest of the competition financially, but try doing that in a league where you have the top dogs and they are the people you're selling to and you are in for a hard time.

    Can you do a video predicting which team in the Spanish, Italian and German leagues (if it is ever going to happen) is most likely to pull off a Leicester-esque shock? I know Bayern have dominated German football for 10 years and the prospect of another team, let alone a massive underdog to topple them seems highly unlikely, but if we're living in that universe, which La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga team is most likely at the minute to pull off a Leicester City style title win?

      As a Bayern fan I could see Frankfurt or Stuttgart pulling it off. Once Muller and Neuer retires the Bundesliga is going to be competitive again.

The closest we had was Getafe that nearly qualified for the UCL followed by Granada being in Europa league in their first season after being regelated ( and reaching 1/4 knocking out napoles, but this is another history )
      For Italy, i have no idea

    Hi. Sevilla fan here. Gladly (or sadly) surprised how well informed many of the comments are. I'm 28 and I've never seen my team doing this. Here in Sevilla nobody understand how this is happening. There is no anger on the air, just a feeling of depression cos we all feel this is going to end with us going down to league2. EVERYONE knew there was no point on starting the season with Lopetegui, the team plays no football at all, we've been signing 30 olds players with no physic whatsoever, just short guys with a lot of skills but zero speed. Now we bring back Sampaoli (I really thought this was a joke) who is the last guy you can hire for this job. He wants to play with the ball always, passing from GK to CB NEVER kicking the ball out. This cost us 1 point yesterday, and Sampaoli is NEVER going to change his orders wherever we are in the table. This is a problem, and since yesterday people has lost all the faith in him. But its not his fault. We've been thinking we had the best sport director (i dont know if you guys call it that way) but this summer signings have been the worse in our history. That is the most frustrsting thing of all, we've been winning all this trophies and reached Champions three years in a row (first time ever) and we have NO MONEY AT ALL and we always sign loan players 2 days prior market close.
    Meanwhile, seeing this fckn circus, former president Jose Maria Del Nido is trying to come back. And he will, is just a matter of months, but because of this there is a war inside the club. This man was in jail not so many years ago for taking money that didnt belong to him, and he has a very difficult kind of character. Some fans wants him back because they think he will put order into things, but some others (me included) things he just wants power, hes anxious about it, and you can see it everytime he speaks. Like I said, there is no stop to the change and he will be president, we'll see where this lead us to....
    Thanks for the video and the comments, nice to see some people caring about us a little bit.

    Monchi put the investment in the youth team and was ahead of the game in bringing in Brazilian talent and flogging them on, but soon enough bigger teams copy the strategy and you lose that niche. He hasn't evolved in 10 years and thus Sevilla have fallen away. Their youth identity is non-existent and the South American market is barren without serious cash now. 15 years ago Sevilla would have snuck Enzo Fernandez, Julian Alvarez and/or Endrick for £5-10m, now that costs you £100m+.
