Sevilla’s La Liga title chances have suffered another blow in Friday night action as they drew 0-0 away at Alaves.
Julen Lopetegui’s side have suffered a stumble in form at the wrong time in 2022 as they now slip five points vasbehind league leaders Real Madrid.
Los Blancos can stretch their lead at the top if they secure a positive result in their game in hand at home to Real Sociedad tomorrow.
Sevilla struggled to carve out chances in the Basque Country with Joselu and Luis Rioja wasting early chances for the home side.
Lopetegui’s side improved after the restart, but Lucas Ocampos fluffed his lines from close range, and Munir El Haddadi blew a gilt edged chance in the dying seconds.
