5 players who have scored the most goals against Sevilla
Sevilla are one of the top clubs in Spain and Europe. The Andalusians have won only one La Liga title, but have created quite a splash in Europe, especially in the UEFA Europa League.
Los Nervionenses' last and only league triumph came in 1945-46. Since then, they have finished second twice, the last being over six decades ago. However, the five-time Copa Del Rey winners are record six-time winners of the UEFA Cup/Europa League.
Regulars in the Spanish top flight since the turn of the century (2001-02), Sevilla have had many great players turn out for them over the years. However, many opponent players, especially goalscorers, have had success against Los Nervionenses too.
On that note, here's a look at the five players with the most goals against Sevilla in all competitions:
Note: All numbers are as per transfermarkt unless mentioned otherwise.
#5 Telmo Zarra - 16 goals
Telmo Zarra is a bonafide legend of Spanish football. The late centre-forward scored 251 goals in La Liga, a record that stood for several decades, until a certain Lionel Messi surpassed him in 2014.
Zarra, who won his lone La Liga title with Athletic Bilbao in 1942-43, enjoyed great success against Sevilla. He netted 16 times against them in 19 games, all in the league. Zarra netted a La Liga hat-trick against the Andalusians in the 1948-49 campaign. He also scored three braces against them.
The six-time La Liga top scorer also scored 16 times against Barcelona and 22 times against Real Madrid.
#4 Alfredo Di Stefano - 18 goals
Alfredo Di Stefano is a Real Madrid legend. The late Argentine is one of only four players to have scored over 300 goals across competitions for the La Liga giants.
Di Stefano won eight La Liga titles and an unprecedented five consecutive European Champions Club Cups (now called the Champions League) with Los Blancos. The two-time Ballon d'Or winner scored 18 goals against Sevilla, the most he netted against a single opponent.
The diminutive attacker, who often played as a second striker, scored four times in Los Blancos' 8-0 win over Los Nervionenses in their 1957-58 European Cup quarter-finals. Di Stefano also netted two La Liga hat-tricks (1957-58, 1958-59) against them.
