Sometimes the gears, the defensive systems, are so perfect that the hypothetical spectacle becomes an indigestible billet.
Sevilla and Arsenal almost never find a goal, almost never in the first forty minutes, and that Sánchez Pizjuán match in which both rivals are playing for the immediate future in the Champions League goes by without pain or glory until Gabriel Jesús enters the scene : The first half is ending when the Brazilian turns on himself in the center of the field to mount a delicious counterattack and enables Martinelli, a knife that cuts through the center, gets around Nyland and finishes into an empty goal.
The Seville that before got wet under the blessed rain freezes, all the curses come upon it, and frozen it goes to rest and to the couch. The harangue of Diego Alonso, the coach from Seville, is of no use: while Sevilla tries to relax, Gabriel Jesús displays his charm and blows everything up.
First he wanders around for a long time, sniffing around Sevilla’s large area.
And a couple of minutes later, already rolled up his sleeves, he goes a little further. He enters the area, cuts back and launches a parabola that surpasses Nyland and stuns Sevilla (53), who for a few minutes is bottom of Group B (PSV scores in Lens, but then the French correct the result and tie the game ).
Only like this, with everything lost, does Sevilla re-emerge. Gudelj closes the gap (58) and Mariano is seen in the finale, when Arsenal shrinks.
It’s already in vain.
