Shortly before, in the Spanish Football League La Liga, Sevia had to play 1–1 against Athletic Bilbao, giving Barcelona and Real Madrid a chance to raise their title hopes in the new year. Bilbao gained the early lead thanks to Andre Kappa's goal in the 15th minute of the game, but a suicide goal from Unai Nurez (60th minute) equaled Sevia. After this, no team could score a goal. After this draw, Sevia retained third place in the La Liga table with 35 points, but with the victory of their hands, the opportunity to pressure Real Madrid was lost.

According to Media Re [Ports] Sevia has a good chance of qualifying for the Champions League for which Bilbao is also included in the race. Through this match, Jesus Navas landed in his 500th match for Seviya, who had reached very close to scoring goals on one occasion. In another match played on Friday in La Liga, Leganes drew 2-2 from Real Valadolid.

Athens, AFP: It is learned that there was a second attack in the house of Greek referee Angelos Evangelo in the last two weeks, which has increased the chances of football officials going on strike. The attackers broke the glass doors of Evangelo's house. Earlier on December 22, he was also mistreated. On 22 December 2020, the match played between Olympiakos and Volos in the Greek Super League was a goalless (0–0) draw. In that match, Evangelo was the video assistant referee who also rejected a penalty kick after disqualifying a goal scored by Olympiakos. Against this decision, Olympiakos appealed for a bad decision against five referees, including Evangelo. Domestic supporters of Olympiakos were also angry with these decisions.
