The visitors were awarded three penalties in the first half, converting only one, before Ivan Rakitić levelled before the break, also from the spot – the first UEFA Champions League match to feature four penalties. Sevilla lost Youssef En-Nesyri to a red card early in the second half, but held on for a point. Form guide Wolfsburg • Wolfsburg are making their third group stage appearance, after 2009/10 – when they failed to progress to the round of 16 – and 2015/16, when they reached the quarter-finals. • The Wolves were first in their section six years ago, collecting 12 points from a group that also included Manchester United, PSV Eindhoven and CSKA Moskva. They beat Gent in the round of 16 (3-2 a, 1-0 h) before being thwarted by eventual winners Real Madrid in the last eight (2-0 h, 0-3 a). • Wolfsburg have since featured in the UEFA Europa League twice; they were eliminated by Shakhtar Donetsk in the 2019/20 round of 16 (1-2 h, 0-3 a). • In 2020/21, the German club were 4-0 winners at Albania's Kukës in the one-off second qualifying round before a 2- 0 home victory against Desna Chernihiv; they then lost 2-1 at AEK Athens in their play-off. • The German club have won three of their last four home European games (L1) and their last five UEFA Champions League matches in their own stadium. • Wolfsburg were fourth in the 2020/21 Bundesliga, their highest finish since ending as runners-up in 2014/15. • Wolfsburg's last game against a Spanish side was also their last in the UEFA Champions League before this season, the 3-0 loss at Real Madrid in the 2015/16 quarter-final second leg that confirmed a 3-2 aggregate defeat. • The 2-0 win in the first leg of that tie was Wolfsburg's second in their three home games against Spanish visitors. They also beat Villarreal 4-1 in the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League round of 32 second leg, having lost 3-2 at home to Atlético de Madrid in the 1999/2000 UEFA Cup third round first leg. Sevilla • Sevilla are in the UEFA Champions League group stage for the seventh time, and the fifth in the last seven seasons. They have qualified for the knockout phase in all but one of their participations. • In 2020/21, Julen Lopetegui's team finished second in Group E behind eventual champions Chelsea, picking up 13 points – one fewer than the English club. Sevilla were beaten 4-0 at home by Chelsea on Matchday 5, their heaviest European defeat in their own ground. • Sevilla then lost to Borussia Dortmund in the round of 16 (2-3 h, 2-2 a). • The draw at Dortmund made it seven away UEFA Champions League games without defeat for Sevilla (W3 D4), since a 5-1 reverse at Spartak Moskva on Matchday 3 in 2017/18. • Fourth in Spain for the second season in a row in 2020/21, Sevilla won their section in each of their first two UEFA Champions League campaigns and, after finishing third in 2015/16 – when they went on to complete a hat-trick of UEFA Europa League wins – they have been group runners-up in their three most recent seasons in the competition. • Sevilla have lost only six of their 25 games against German opposition (W12 D7) although they have been beaten in four of their last six such fixtures (D2).
