Impact Montiel made his first career UCL start and the third consecutive in all competitions, his biggest stretch since joining Sevilla before the start of the season. The right back made good use of the opportunity, doing a nice job on defense and even finding room to support the attacking end. Up next for Montiel is what can be one of the biggest challenges of his career so far as his side visits a red-hot Vinicius Junior and La Liga leaders Real Madrid.

Impact Acuna made his presence be felt on both ends, specially on offense, creating a lot for his teammates from the left flank and reaching the fifth consecutive game with at least five crosses, totaling 37 during this stretch. Acuna's hustle and two-way prowess will be in very high demand during Sunday's visit to La Liga leaders Real Madrid.

Bono - Keeps clean sheet in UCL win Bono made one save and kept a clean sheet during Tuesday's 2-0 Champions League win over Wolfsburg.

Impact Bono didn't have much work coming his way as his side dominated the opposition for most of the match, but made a nice save the only time he was called into action. This was the fifth clean sheet over the last eight starts in all competitions for the goalkeeper and he'll need to be at his best during Sunday's visit to La Liga leaders Real Madrid.

Lucas Ocampos - Provides assist in UCL win Ocampos provided an assist, had two off-target shots, created two chances, sent in three crosses (one accurate), made three tackles (two won) and drew five fouls during Tuesday's 2...

Impact Ocampos had another great performance here, being very active on the offensive end and showing his usual hustle to put pressure on the opposition without the ball. And the last-minute assist to Rafa Mir for the goal that sealed the 2-0 win led the winger to five consecutive games with an appearance on the scoresheet (three goals and two assists during this stretch). Up next for Ocampos is Sunday's visit to La Liga leaders Real Madrid.

Rafa Mir - Scores off bench in UCL win Mir scored a goal off three shots (one on target), created one chance and sent in one accurate cross during Tuesday's 2-0 Champions League win over Wolfsburg.

Impact Mir made a rare appearance off the bench after starting the previous 10 matches. He was brought in the 80th minute to replace Munir El Haddadi and displayed his usual intensity on the attacking end, being able to pace his team in shot attempts despite of the short playing time and being rewarded with a goal deep into the stoppage time that sealed the 2-0 win for Sevilla. This was the first career UCL goal for the striker and his first in all competitions after a five-match drought. With Youssef En-Nesyri (hamstring) still out, Mir will probably be back in the starting XI for Sunday's La Liga visit to Real Madrid.

Ivan Rakitic - Provides assist in UCL win Rakitic provided an assist, created two chances, sent in five crosses (two accurate) and made two tackles (one won) during Tuesday's 2-0 UCL win over Wolfsburg.

Impact Rakitic assisted Joan Jordan for the opening goal of the match with a picture-perfect cross from the right flank in the 12th minute and then kept creating for his teammates both from open play and set pieces. The midfielder had one goal and two assists over his last four appearances in all competitions and will need to be at his best once again during Sunday's La Liga visit against Real Madrid.

In the 12th minute, he paved the way for Sevilla's first group stage win with a powerful header after a cross from the right flank. Up next for the midfielder is Sunday's clash against La Liga leaders Real Madrid.

Erik Lamela - Still battling injury Lamela remains out for Tuesday's match against Wolfsburg.

Impact Lamela didn't play over the weekend and he still isn't recovered for Tuesday's match. There's a chance he misses more time with the injury, leaving Sevilla hurting for options in their attack. Alejandro Gomez returned to the XI for Tuesday's game against Wolfsburg.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Suso - Not in squad Tuesday Suso (hamstring) is not in the squad for Tuesday's match against Wolfsburg.

Impact Suso left injured over the weekend and unsurprisingly isn't in the squad Tuesday. There's a chance he misses a couple weeks with the issue, especially since it's his hamstring, but more information should be revealed by Sevilla in the coming days if that's the case.

Rafa Mir - Takes six shots in draw Mir took six shots (one on target) and created a chance in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Alaves.

Impact Mir was active in attack on Saturday, but he wasn't accurate enough with his shooting to make the difference against Alaves. He is yet to score in the Champions League, but he will want to end that dry run Tuesday against Wolfsburg, which drew Sevilla 1-1 in the reverse fixture on Sept. 29.

Bono - Concedes two goals against Alaves Bono made a save but conceded two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Alaves.

Impact Bono was beaten by a header from Victor Laguardia and a Joselu penalty kick on Saturday, but his side salvaged a result via Ivan Rakitic's 92nd-minute equalizer. He will be looking for his second Champions League clean sheet of the season Tuesday against Wolfsburg, which drew Sevilla 1-1 when they met in the reverse fixture on Sept. 29.

Gonzalo Montiel - Records assist in draw Montiel created two chances and assisted a goal in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Alaves.

Impact Montiel set up Lucas Ocampos' goal against Alaves on Saturday for his first assist in La Liga. He will want to be more solid defensively in Tuesday's Champions League clash against Wolfsburg, which have scored four goals in four games so far in the competition.

NOVEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Rakitic - Scores goal against Alaves Rakitic subbed into Saturday's match against Alaves at halftime, and he scored a goal and created two chances in the 2-2 draw.

Impact Rakitic grabbed a dramatic 92nd-minute equalizer on Saturday, his first goal in La Liga this season. He has started just one of Sevilla's four Champions League games this campaign, but he should still see playing time Tuesday against Wolfsburg, even if it's coming off the bench.

NOVEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Ocampos - Scores goal against Alaves Ocampos took three shots and scored a goal in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Alaves. He also made a clearance in the match.

Impact Ocampos scored his third goal in his last four games in all competitions for Sevilla on Saturday, but he also conceded a penalty kick with a handball in the box just before halftime. Still, he's on a roll in front of goal recently and he will be looking for more in Tuesday's Champions League clash against Wolfsburg.

NOVEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Suso - Comes off injured against Alaves Suso was subbed out of Saturday's draw against Alaves in the 68th minute after suffering an apparent injury. He had only been subbed into the match at halftime.

Impact Suso lasted 23 minutes in Saturday's game before having to come off. He has started six of Sevilla's 13 La Liga games this season, but it is unclear whether he will be forced to miss additional game time due to his potential injury.
