  "account": "Sevilla extended Valencia's suffering with a 1-0 victory in La Liga on Friday, thanks to midfielder Juan Iglesias's 81st minute goal. This represented Valencia's fourth loss in five matches this season, after they had endured a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of La Liga champions Barcelona last weekend. During that match, Barcelona's Rodri was caught on camera disparaging Sevilla as \"very weak.\" The Spanish media accused him of being disrespectful, but broadcaster Movistar utilized a lip reader to understand Rodri's comments directed at teammates Pau Cubarsi and Raphinha. It has been over two decades since Valencia last won a La Liga title and reached consecutive Champions League finals. Their status has deteriorated significantly since then, and they have not managed to secure a European qualification in the past seven years.",
