Following two very different starts to their European journey this week, two of the early favorites for the La Liga title clash this weekend in what should be a fantastic match with an even better atmosphere. This game will test the resolve and strength of one of the biggest club’s in the world in a moment of crisis.
Sevilla vs. Real Madrid

Following an important win at home last weekend, it seemed like things were starting to look better for Real Madrid after an inconsistent start to the season. However, a 3-0 loss to PSG in the Champions League without a single shot on target brought even more questions and criticism for manager Zinedine Zidane and his players. The long-time superstars aren’t at the same level so far, and the new signings are struggling to have any impact.
Things are looking completely different for Sevilla, who lead La Liga after four matches and started its Europa League campaign with a dominant win on the road against Qarabag. Former Madrid manager Julen Lopetegui is making a very strong start in Seville, and facing his former team on Sunday is a perfect opportunity to show his terrible time in Madrid wasn’t reflective of his abilities as a coach. Madrid is under all kinds of pressure to show how good they are against the leaders, who have made life incredibly difficult for Real at the Pizjuán and will look to do the same this weekend.
