This Sunday Sevilla will face Real Madrid in the 32nd round of La Liga. It will be an important match, since if the Sevillian team wins, it will move up to second place and will close the gap on the “merengue” team, which leads the competition.
Tecatito Corona spoke about what this match against Madrid means to him: “It’s a game that I’ve wanted to play since I was a kid and to have it just a few days away is very nice. I hope it will be nice for everyone.”
He confessed that he is looking forward to scoring his first goal for the team this Sunday: “I spoke to a friend and told him that I’m imagining scoring my first goal for Sevilla on Sunday.”
