A Sevilla that excites despite institutional noise

The club remains immersed in a complicated institutional situation, although the magnificent start to the league campaign has ensured that football is back in the spotlight. You would have to go back to the 2009/10 season to find a similar beginning from the Sevilla side.

New signings are delivering and, at the same time, several players developed in the academy are taking a major step forward. With more or less prominence, the youngsters are having an obvious impact on the good moment Sevilla are going through.

Rafa Romero, a goalkeeper with a future

Although he has not yet enjoyed official minutes, Rafa Romero works within the first-team dynamic. The young goalkeeper is one of the most promising players in the academy, and at the Sánchez-Pizjuán offices there is a lot of confidence in his development.

José Ángel Carmona is another of Sevilla's academy products who has gradually carved out a place for himself. After several loan spells and at 24 years old, he can already be considered almost a veteran within this new generation.

Despite featuring in only two league matches this season, his versatility and willingness to sacrifice make Carmona a very useful option for the coach. In such a long season, everything points to him getting opportunities.

Isaac Romero, character and a Sevilla DNA

Another of the academy gems who already has experience at the top level is Isaac Romero. Sevilla spotted him when he was still a youth player and playing for Cádiz, and since then his career has been defined by his drive, intensity and competitive character.

Despite the arrival of new forwards season after season, Isaac always ends up finding his space and racking up minutes. He has become one of the benchmarks for the young players who are starting to knock on the first-team door.

Manu Bueno waits for his chance

It seems more complicated for this season Manu Bueno. During the summer, the midfielder received proposals from important clubs in Segunda División, but both the club and the player decided to continue together.

The academy player knows he will face competition for minutes, but also that the season will bring opportunities. His goal is to be ready when his moment comes.

Nico Guillén, one of the names to watch

A hardworking midfielder, good with the ball and barely 18 years old. Nico Guillén is one of those players on whom there are big expectations within Sevilla's academy. He has already gone through different categories of the Spanish national teams and is starting to edge closer to the first team.

This season he has already taken part in two matches and his progress has not gone unnoticed. If he keeps growing at the same pace and manages to stay clear of the siren calls coming from the Premier League, Sevilla could have a player for many years to come.

Kike Salas, leader of the defence

For the end, there are two players who represent the present and the future of Sevilla in a special way. The first is Kike Salas, already turned into one of the leaders of the defence.

His character, solidity and ability to show up in attacking actions have led some fans to spot similarities with Sergio Ramos. The centre-back feels the colours, knows exactly what it means to play for Sevilla, and has established himself as one of the pillars of the project.

Miguel Sierra knocks down the first-team door

And if there is one name that is bursting onto the scene with force, it is Miguel Sierra. Freshly brought into the first-team dynamic, the Sevilla winger has smashed the door down with performances that have quickly drawn attention.

At just 22 years old, he has played in all the matches of the current season and has scored two goals. His emergence is allowing the team to find new attacking solutions and reduce reliance on players like Vargas or Alexis Sánchez.

Watch out for the Granada native, because his start could not have been better and he wants to write his own story in the Sevilla shirt.

Barcelona, the ultimate test

FC Barcelona

Next Saturday brings a test of the highest demands. The Barcelona of Flick will visit Seville as league leaders and will put the excellent moment of the Hispalis side to the test.

The Sánchez-Pizjuán wants to be the protagonist again on a big night. Just before midnight we will find out whether this spectacular start from Sevilla continues, at least, for one more matchday.
