Sevilla continues to impose its jinx on English striker Marcus Rashford, a Barcelona player, ahead of the anticipated match between the two teams in La Liga, amid a negative record that haunts the player against the Andalusian team during his professional career.

According to the Spanish newspaper 'Marca,' Rashford has faced Sevilla five times throughout his career, four of which were with Manchester United and once with Barcelona, without achieving any victory over the Andalusian team so far.

The first encounter between Rashford and Sevilla dates back to the 2017/2018 season in the Champions League round of 16, when the two teams drew 1-1 in the first leg at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, while Manchester United lost the return leg at Old Trafford 2-1, exiting the tournament at that time.

The meeting was renewed in the 2019/2020 season in the Europa League semi-finals, where Sevilla won 2-1, before the Andalusian superiority was repeated in the 2022/2023 season when the Spanish team defeated Manchester United 3-0 in the return leg of the same tournament's quarter-finals.

The situation did not change after Rashford's transfer to Barcelona, as he started in the first-round encounter this season at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium and scored a goal in stoppage time of the first half, yet the match ended with Sevilla winning 4-1.

Thus, Rashford's encounters against Sevilla indicate one draw and four defeats, making the Andalusian team the only competitor the English striker has not managed to overcome after five encounters, providing him with additional motivation to break this jinx when the two teams meet again.
