Spanish club , Sevilla FC was edged out by Bayern Munich in extra time of the European Super Cup in Budapest after a display which Marca Sports spokesman Jonas Baer-Hoffmann, described as heroic.
Julen Lopetegui’s side took an early lead through a penalty converted by Lucas Ocampos but Bayern were level by the break time.
The European champions Bayern Munich , dominated possession in the second half and whilst they were the stronger side, Sevilla spurned a number of late opportunities to win the game in normal time – Youssef En-Nesyri was thwarted by Manuel Neuer in a late one-on-one situation.
Bayern won the game in extra-time courtesy of Javi Martinez’s header and the result brought Sevilla’s club record 22 matches unbeaten run – which stretched back to February’s loss at Celta Vigo – to an end.
Marca Sports noted that It was impossible to show more pride and self-love than the way Sevilla FC of Spain did maintaining that If there is another team with that strength of character like that of Sevilla, including strength to resist, the team has not yet been revealed.
Ivan Rakitic was the sole debutant for Lopetegui’s side – replacing the departed Ever Banega – while Sergio Escudero started at left-back following Sergio Reguilon’s departure.
Sevilla get their La Liga campaign underway this weekend with a trip to Cadiz.
