En-Nesyri: Will Sevilla frontman punish hapless Borussia Dortmund?

Julen Lopetegui will look to his Morocco frontman to continue his form since the turn of the year against the unrecognisable German outfit

Sevilla vs Borussia Dortmund was meant to be one of the tighter last 16 Champions League ties when the draws were made in Nyon, but both sides’ run of results since mid-December suggests the Spaniards are currently clear favourites on paper to make it through to the quarter-finals.

The ascent of Youssef En-Nesyri since the backend of 2020 somewhat typifies the change in the mood in Seville with the Morocco striker netting nine La Liga goals in that period to take his league tally to 13 in only 14 starts.
