He Sevilla FC will be measured this Sunday at FC Barcelona in the match corresponding to matchday 10 of LaLiga EA Sports. The Nervionense team will seek to continue the victory achieved in the derby before the break in their visit to Montjuic to face the leader with whom institutional relations are not going through their best moment right now.

And before the confrontation between both clubs in the first round of last year, Sevilla issued a harsh statement through which he announced that his representation would not attend the Montjuic box and that all the protocol events planned for before, during and immediately after this clash would also be suspended. The Nervión club thus expressed its “indignation and rejection” in the face of the latest information that revealed “the accusation for the alleged crime of bribery of the Barça team for possible match-fixing at the arbitration level” within the framework of the ‘Negreira Case’. Well, according to reports Sports World, Sevilla maintains its veto against the Barça club over this matter and the members of the board of directors who travel to Barcelona for Sunday’s duel will not attend the box.

After the aforementioned decision taken in September 2023, Barcelona decided to break relations, pointing out that “the so-called ‘Negreira Case’ cannot serve as an excuse for such actions since the judicial procedure is in a very premature investigation phase and the position of the Sevilla FC clearly prejudges facts that, in no case, and in none of its preliminary and hypothetical classifications, are proven.
