#1 Sevilla 3-3 Liverpool, November 2017
For Liverpool, there seems to be a mental block when they play Sevilla. After losing the Europa League final in 2016, the two sides faced each other for the first time in the group stage of the 2017/18 Champions League.
The two teams met at Anfield in the opening game of the group stage fixtures and the game ended 2-2 after Liverpool missed a penalty and Sevilla equalised despite the home side’s dominance.
The return leg in Spain was far more eventful and exciting. The visitors took a 3-0 lead in the first half hour thanks to a brace from Roberto Firmino and a goal from Sadio Mane.
At halftime, Liverpool looked set to win the game and top the group but Wissam Ben Yedder scored a brace in the second half to take the game to Liverpool. Although Liverpool had the chance to score their fourth, Sevilla dominated the entire second half and was knocking on the doors throughout. Eventually, their pressure worked as they scored the equaliser in the third minute of added time to level the game.
This was the third consecutive game against Sevilla that Liverpool led and failed to win.
