In addition to the comments of the two La Liga giants, the Spanish media also gave high praise to Sevilla. Sevilla had won the respect and recognition of the outside world!
The movie that accompanied Sevilla was Braveheart.
Sevilla, which was not a European powerhouse, shouted that they wanted to win the treble. Moreover, they were the club that had the longest hope of winning the treble in Europe. Although they were not able to win La Liga in the end, Sevilla's shouts of "for the championship" chilled Real Madrid and Barça.
In all the leagues in Europe, Sevilla was the only non-powerhouse team that shouted that they wanted to win the treble. In a league with Real Madrid, Barça, and Valencia, Sevilla said that they wanted to win the championship. In the league with Bremen, Tottenham, and other upstart teams in Europe, Sevilla said that they wanted to win two consecutive championships. In the Spanish Cup, Sevilla also aimed to win the championship.
Sevilla was definitely not a dark horse team that relied on counterattacks to occasionally achieve good results. Everton, Ipswich, and other teams in the English Premier League also had occasional glory, but Sevilla was different from them.
Kanoutte, Fabiano, Chevanton, Maresca, Renato, Adriano Jr., Daniel Alves, Puerta, Sevilla had a group of players that could be the prey of the powerhouses.
Moreover, they had a crazy manager who was comparable to Mourinho, Juande Ramos. When he was in charge of Real Vallecano, Ramos even took out a player from the team himself in order to motivate the team. They took on ten players and finally won the game.
In all three competitions, Seville had shown her bravery. In the UEFA Europa League against the Ukrainian team, Shakhtar Donetsk, Sevilla was still behind until the last moment of the game. At that time, the one who scored for them was the goalkeeper, Palop, who rushed into the penalty area to attack!
In La Liga, if not for the lack of experience and the fact that they were fighting on three fronts, Sevilla had no less than four chances to surpass Barça and Real Madrid and become the team with the best chance of winning the championship.
Sevilla had sold star players like Baptista, Reyes, and Ramos in the past, but this Spanish club had the courage of the Scottish highlanders, William Wallace. They did not have the wealth of Chelsea, Inter Milan, or Real Madrid, but even if they sold more players, as long as they had the foundation and courage, there was still hope.
In the end, Seville's grand dream of winning three championships was not realized, but just like William Wallace, who shouted "for freedom" before his death, they had a brave heart. If there were more teams in European football who were as brave as Sevilla, there would not be a situation where Inter Milan or the top four teams in the Premier League dominated the league. This was also the hope for football to continue improving and break free from Jin Yuan's control.

The Spanish media only commented on Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Sevilla, the three teams that would eventually rank in the top three.
In terms of player reviews, the Barcelona star was a completely different model.
A year ago, Ronaldinho had been hailed as the man closest to becoming the king of football, and the Spanish media had dubbed him with the movie "Garfield".
Ronaldinho, who was once considered the king of the new generation, gradually lost himself in the halo of stardom. His friend revealed that Ronaldinho had become fond of going to bars to drink, which caused his body to swell. Coupled with excessive business activities, Ronaldinho, like Garfield, had encountered severe challenges.
The lazy Garfield was, in fact, an extremely intelligent cat. It was just that it liked to show off all of its shortcomings. When it was cowardly, lazy, and bullied the puppy Oudi, Garfield's behavior was abominable. However, when Oudi was kidnapped or faced with an evil aristocrat's murder in the palace, Garfield, who put away its lazy appearance, was actually very smart and capable.
The similarity between Ronaldinho and Garfield was not only that they were both very popular. Ronaldinho, who was not handsome at all and could even be said to be very ugly, was also a cute alternative "handsome guy" in the eyes of female fans. In Japan, which was known for being obsessed with idols, Ronaldinho's popularity once surpassed that of David Beckham, who was the center of attention.
In addition, Ronaldinho's belly was also developing in the direction of Garfield. In the past two seasons, Ronaldinho's magical dribbling, passing, and shooting were amazing, and it also brought him countless sponsorships, advertisements, and business activities. An illegitimate child and a new girlfriend began to replace his football skills as Ronaldinho's most talked about news.
According to media reports, in addition to business activities, festivals, public welfare activities, and other non-football activities that took up his training time, Ronaldinho also began to become less enthusiastic about football. One of Ronaldinho's close friends revealed that recently, Ronaldinho had been going to bars to drink more and more, and he was drinking more and more. The Spanish media made a judgment: "Ronaldinho is retracing Ronaldo's path."
This season, Ronaldinho had scored more than 20 goals, but seven of those goals were penalties, and five were free kicks. He only scored eight goals in sports games.
It was unknown whether the fans were mocking or suggesting that he could learn from Ronaldo and switch to playing as a center forward. That way, gaining weight would not be a problem, and it would help to squeeze in positions.
There were also people who thought that Ronaldinho, who had a belly, was cuter and that he could take the acting route even if he did not play football. However, it was likely that these were not Ronaldinho's goals.
Garfield, who was having a great time, seemed to be the boss of the world, and countless viewers were envious. However, Ronaldinho, who was thought to be the new king of football a year ago, was no longer the number one figure in football. Qin Xiong, who was younger than him, was becoming more and more popular and had completely replaced him in La Liga. There was also his Brazilian teammate, Kaka. In the national team, now Ronaldinho could only wear the number seven, and the number ten that used to belong to him was already worn by Kaka.
Just like the plot of Garfield, Ronaldinho had encountered the challenge of fate. Could he, like the cat that was popular all over the world, overcome the difficulties and become a legend that could be passed down for decades like Garfield? Look at Garfield 3 and you'll find out. Oh, sorry, look at next season and you'll find out. As for whether to continue filming in Spain or move to Italy, it would depend on the director's arrangements …
The success or failure of a season might not mean anything, but for superstar players, especially those who were closest to the level of God, God would not give these people too many chances because they were given a gift. When the turning point of fate arrived, where would they go? A small change and difference might lead to a completely different future!
