[Sport] Sevilla FC - What does not kill you makes you stronger

[#Steeven.™]

He says goodbye to his League options, which were never many, on another night where he could win and fate played a trick on him.

The noise that Militao's hand is already generating will cover any fairly understandable analysis of this exciting end of the League. And reasonable. And calm. And even football. We will get caught up in judging a crystalline action. Another issue is that not all hands are judged the same. Sevilla came roaring from the hand of Balenziaga. No one can make up for that. Justice was simply served in Madrid, a word that is intended to stain when it does not favor the one who plays. Nothing new under the sun. As it will be said that Madrid loses an opportunity to be the leader, while Sevilla, the guest of losing, that last minute, cursed this course, forces him to say goodbye to his options to LaLiga and almost to the podium of the championship. He has nothing left. And he has a lot left. Because what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And Sevilla must come out tremendously strengthened from a year that they are looking forward to saying goodbye to, as some have done from the State of Alarm.

Realistically, the chances of Sevilla being champion was more of a sensation than a reality. A dream above mathematics. A lure to remain hooked on a championship that will be played by the usual ones because, despite their defects, they fail less than the Andalusians. And there is the classification to corroborate it. It is not that Sevilla has not been a leader (nor has it been close), it is that it has not been a third. With that traffic through, Sevilla's only hope was to win it all. He was winning and the spirits were growing. The dressing room believed it and the fans, in the distance, cradled the hope of making history. If nobody wins everything now that the competitors see it within reach, neither could Sevilla. If you score 85 points ... Sure. Accounts, dreams, illusions and frustrations. The path is always the same. Even if they beat Athletic, this game against Real Madrid would have been another story. Because in moments of truth, in companies of this gigantic size, Sevilla is still green.

It is not the first time that he has not killed a superior team when he could. He did not do it in the Cup against Barcelona, with funny counterattacks; or against Atlético, in a victory that Bono had to save on the hour; or in Valdebebas, where he did not know how to make the last attacks or stop those last plays where the clearances inside the area seem like a schoolyard. The fear of winning grips much more than the fear of losing. Many blows to Sevilla. Against the greats. And all in an exercise marked by too many exogenous factors. The reading, however, could not be more positive. Because Lopetegui's team is even within its right to lose what is left and not get the vaunted points record. It's not important. And even if it did not make one more point, the entity has shown itself that it is at the exit door for larger companies. Because there is nothing left but to rewind and see what needs to be improved. These last days, the experienced part of the team has pulled the car, with Rakitic, Fernando or Jesús Navas as exponents.

Sevilla will return next season to fight for everything. As far as I can. This must be your war. That each defeat stings, as draws do in the Real Madrid field, playing and playing LaLiga. While the rest are stunned and anesthetized by the VAR, the black hand arbitrations, the Super League or the smoke screen that you want to expose so as not to say that Sevilla was two minutes away from continuing to fight for a dream. That it was just that, but what a dream. Which you will have to pursue even more diligently, tools and experience in future years. They haven't shot him down. He is still standing and wanting to fight. Despite the fact that in coming years a success of the VAR will be remembered and for that reason it can be penalized. The football of now. Same as usual, but in slow motion.
