Valdano drew a comparison between Sevilla's performance under coach Matias Almeyda and the style of play associated with Marcelo Bielsa.
Valdano noted that Paris Saint-Germain's match against Barcelona had left the Spanish team vulnerable to certain weaknesses.
He pointed out that Barcelona had shown these weaknesses, particularly in the final 30 minutes of the match.
Commenting on the Sunday match, Valdano suggested that the intense heat in Seville may have affected the players' performance.
He stated that Sevilla's team applied overwhelming pressure, using a man-to-man approach reminiscent of Bielsa's style, which ultimately suffocated Barcelona's midfielders.
