Sevilla coach Eduardo Berizzo has been diagnosed with cancer, and told his Sevilla players at half-time as they came from being three down to snatch a 3-3 draw against in the Champions League on Tuesday. The Reds looked to be heading for a comfortable win in their Champions League Group C clash as two goals from Roberto Firmino and one from Sadio Mane put them 3-0 ahead. However, Sevilla battled back in the second half and claimed a 3-3 draw, with Guido Pizarro scoring an injury-time equaliser. Sevilla players ran to celebrate with Berizzo after the goal, after Berizzo at half-time that he has prostate cancer. Berizzo, a former centre-back for River Plate, Marseille and Celta Vigo among others, is in his first season as Sevilla boss after three successful years in charge of Celta. The club said in a statement: "The medical services of Sevilla FC report that the coach of the first team, Eduardo Berizzo, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. "Future examinations will decide what steps to follow regarding the treatment. Sevilla FC wants to show their maximum support to their coach at this time and wishes him a speedy recovery."

French striker Antoine Griezmann insists he does not regret staying at Atletico Madrid, and says he has had no discussions about leaving the club in January. Griezmann has been constantly linked with a move away from Diego Simeone's side, who are 10 points off La Liga leaders Barcelona and are on the brink of exiting the Champions League at the group stages. Barcelona and Manchester United are said to be heavily linked to a potential summer move for the striker, but the 26year-old has said he hasn't regretted staying at Atletico for this season. He told French TV channel Telefoot: "I do not regret having stayed at Atletico. It was my choice, I am happy with my choice, even though I have gone seven games without scoring. I will score again soon." Asked if he had discussed a potential January exit with anyone at Atletico, Griezmann added: "No. In addition, Diego Costa and Vitolo will come, so we'll try to keep the team high enough. These two reinforcements will do us good. An exit agreement? I did not speak about that with the president." Griezmann has not scored in seven games for the La Liga side, but says he is happier with his performances, and is adamant he can regain his goalscoring touch. "I'm happy with all my performances with the national team but with only two or three Atletico matches. I have to improve and find my best form. "It depends on me, how I train and work. There are games where I don't even get one shot on target and that's my problem. "I have to work to take the team to the top."
