The 2007–08 season was Sevilla Fútbol Club's seventh consecutive season in La Liga. Juande Ramos began the season as the club's manager but left in late October to take over the vacant manager role at Tottenham Hotspur. He was replaced by Manolo Jiménez. Along with the domestic league, Sevilla competed in this season's editions of the Copa del Rey, Supercopa de España, UEFA Champions League, and UEFA Super Cup.
Sevilla won the Supercopa de España for the first time in the club's history with a 6–3 aggregate win over Real Madrid.[3]
On 25 August 2007, Sevilla defender Antonio Puerta collapsed and lost consciousness in the penalty area due to a cardiac arrest during Sevilla's first La Liga fixture of the 2007–08 campaign against Getafe CF at the Sánchez Pizjuán.[4] He was seen crouching and then subsequently collapsing upon moving back to his team's goal after only 35 minutes of the game had passed,[5] as teammates Ivica Dragutinović and Andrés Palop immediately ran to his side as he lost consciousness; moments later, club medical staff and other players followed suit.[6]
After recovering and being substituted, Puerta was able to walk to the dressing room, where he collapsed once again. He was resuscitated by the doctors and taken, by ambulance, to the intensive care unit of Virgen del Rocío hospital, where he received cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Puerta died on 28 August 2007, at 14:30.[7] [8] Doctor Francisco Murillo reported that he had suffered multiple organ failure and irreversible brain damage as a result of multiple prolonged cardiac arrests due to an incurable, hereditary heart disease known as arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.[9]
Puerta's girlfriend was expecting their first child at the time of his death.[5] As a mark of respect, players from both Sevilla and city rivals Real Betis attended his funeral days after his death and, subsequently, FIFA ordered the installation of resuscitation rooms in every stadium that hosted the World Cup qualifiers.[10]
