Tactical analysis: What do experts expect from the battle at the «Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán»?

Views of Spanish sports analysts on the central clash:

• Sevilla's home resistance: Sevilla, which always offers a merciless fight to grandees on its home turf, will rely on hard one-on-one duels and aggressive defense from the first minutes;

• Flick's vertical style: The German coach has devised a plan to reach the opponent's penalty area within seconds through flank attackers right after winning the ball back, rather than playing with it for long on the narrow and noisy pitch in Seville;

• Test of concentration in defense: Defending against Sevilla's counterattacks in open spaces arising from the attacking involvement of young Pau Cubarsi and Cancelo requires high concentration from the goalkeeper and defensive midfielder.
