Sevilla’s poor run of form continued at a rain-soaked Sanchez-Pizjuan yesterday afternoon as they drew 0-0 with Real Sociedad in La Liga. Their prospects of finishing in the top four this season are becoming increasingly tougher given the impressive upward trajectory of both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

they need money to compete with the best.
