The head of Sevilla has been in Budapest for weeks and the match against Real Madrid was the best example. Mendilibar once again pulled rotations to give rest to some and activate others ahead of the Europa League final against Roma next Wednesday.
In this way, half eleven of the one who is assumed to be the starter did not play a minute of the penultimate day of the League and will arrive at the derby rested. This is the case of the two full-backs, Navas and Telles, of Fernando and of the two most powerful weapons that Mendilibar has in attack: Ocampos and En Nesyri.
On the other hand, Bono, a regular substitute in the League, did play so as not to accumulate excessive inactivity. Other regulars such as Rakitic or Gudelj started in the starting eleven although they did not play the full game.
