#3 Sevilla – Palanganas (Washbasins)
The origins of this nickname have been a topic of debate for quite a while. Some historians attribute it to the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium which resembles a washbasin. However, fans have also pointed out the fact that the club’s colours resemble the red and white lining of washbasins used in the 20th century and hence the name.
Sevilla’s weird nickname is just another interesting mystery that has never been properly uncovered.
The club has been in great form in the La Liga and are challenging Barcelona for the 2nd spot at the moment. However, new manager Sampaoli’s real impact can only be seen at the end of the season when the final table is revealed.
