The Morocco star came up trumps against Osasuna last week and it was surprising his manager left him out against Diego Simeone’s troops on Saturday
When Youssef En-Nesyri scrambled the ball home from Jules Kounde’s header back across goal last weekend, it settled a wildly exciting afternoon where Sevilla had led Osasuna, who were reduced to 10 men, 2-0, only to be pegged back with 15 minutes left to play.
The Moroccan netted in the third minute of stoppage time to spare Julen Lopetegui’s blushes with the 3-2 victory. It was just what the former Spain manager needed after a testing run that’s threatened their Champions League qualification at the end of the season.
