- Berizzo will face his ex-team for the first time in his career. With the Argentinian on the bench, Celta reached two Copa del Rey semi-finals (2016 y 2017), and in the first of them was eliminated by Sevilla (4-0 in the first leg match at Sevilla and 2-2 at Balaidos in the second leg).

- Besides meeting up again with Berizzo and his training staff, Celta will see Krohn-Dehli and Nolito again, ex sky-blue players. On the other hand, Iago Aspas returns to his ex-team’s stadium once again, where he played one season.
- This Saturday’s Sevilla-Celta match is going to be special for the Nordic fans. Up to 6 Scandinavian players could share the pitch: the Danish Krohn-Dehli and Kjaer on behalf of Sevilla, and their countrymen on Celta por Wass, Hjulsager, Sisto, and Swede John Guidetti. If Celta player Emre Mor born in Denmark were available, he would have been listed by Unzué, being the 7th Nordic in the match.
