Sevilla's players have had their last involvement with the national teams for this year. The last to play were Gaby Mercado and Franco Vázquez, who had their second friendly in four days against Mexico. In contrast to Friday's friendly in Córdoba, in which Vázquez played in the second half, this time it was Mercado's turn, who played the whole match and even wore the captain's armband.

The Argentines repeated the scoreline against Mexico once more and beat them 2-0 in Mendoza thanks to Icardi's goal right at the start and Dybala's three minutes from the end. The Argentines are therefore the last players to return to Sevilla and reincorporate themselves with the team to prepare for the match against Real Valladolid in La Liga.
