New Delhi: Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and Tennis great Rafael Nadal have been featured in the 'Never Surrender' Christmas campaign by the Spanish professional football club Sevilla FC.
Tendulkar and Nadal are two of the seven examples in the Sevilla FC's Christmas campaign.
The club said, "Sevilla FC wanted to send out a message of optimism and resilience for its Christmas campaign, in a year that is more than fitting for this due to the tremendous difficulties that the Covid-19 pandemic has generated in our society since the beginning of 2020. Under the motto Never surrender, Sevilla FC wants to convey that it is always possible, even when it seems impossible, if you really want something, because where there's a will there's a way."

TO WANT IT means YOU CAN DO IT #NeverSurrender.

The club recently relaunched its brand and this campaign aims to strengthen the positioning of Never Surrender, a message that they said is the way of understanding and facing life.
According to Sevilla, SACHIN TENDULKAR embodies the passion of an entire country.
"Sachin wins the Laureus Sporting Moment (2000-2020) for being carried on the shoulders of his teammates after India won the World Cup, as a thank you from a proud nation," Sevilla said.
Congratulations Paji @sachin_rt. You never fail to make the nation proud.
