Sevilla have been in great form recently, and it seems that one player has been playing a key role in their success - Filip Rakitić. In recent matches, the Croatian midfielder has been scoring and assisting at a high rate, helping to lift his team to new heights.

On Saturday, Rakitić scored two goals in a 2-1 win over Espanyol, which was a huge boost for his side. The first goal came early on in the match, as Rakitić took advantage of some poor defending by Espanyol to score from close range. The second goal came later on in the game, when he found himself in a good position to score after a well-worked team move.

It's not just goals that Rakitić is contributing to Sevilla's success. He's also been providing plenty of assists throughout the season, helping to create opportunities for his teammates and scoring crucial goals himself. His performance against Espanyol was no exception - he created several chances for his teammates and was involved in a number of important plays.

Rakitić's performances have been a big reason why Sevilla have been so successful this season. They've won four out of five games since he joined the team in January, and he's been instrumental in many of those victories. With his impressive form, it's clear that Sevilla will be a force to be reckoned with in the coming weeks and months.
