Sevilla last season looked very worthy in the championship. If not for the regular loss of points at the finish line, Julen Lopetegui’s team could well have taken silver. Nevertheless, the Red-Whites made their way to the Champions League and tried to strengthen in anticipation of the start of the group stage. As free agents, the team was joined by two creative midfielders in the person of Adnan Januzaj and Isko. Already for the money, the Nervions signed two central defenders: Tanguy Nyanza from Bayern and Marcao from Galatasaray. The newcomers have to compensate for the loss of Jules Kunde and Diego Carlos, on whose shoulders Sevilla as a whole got a ticket to the Champions League. The defense of the “red-whites” became the best in the Primera, even the champion represented by Real Madrid missed more. The style of a large-scale restructuring in defense could not pass without a trace. A good example is Leipzig, which also last season lost a couple of main defenders and failed the start of the championship, pulling the head coach, who lost his position, to the bottom. So far, Sevilla is 16th in the table based on the results of four rounds. The Nerves have already one point in the table.
Manchester City are without a doubt the most ambitious goals in all competitions. The Champions League for Pep Guardiola is certainly an even more coveted trophy than the championship in England, but the European title is constantly slipping out of his hands. In the current season, the “citizens” were not in the most difficult group with Sevilla, Borussia Dortmund and Copenhagen. Summer “Manchester City” blew up the transfer market with the transfer of Erling Haaland, for which Borussia had to shell out 60 million. It makes sense to also highlight the purchase of Calvin Phillips from Leeds, which is a good replacement for Fernandinho who left the club. As for losses, Oleksandr Zinchenko moved to Arsenal, Raheem Sterling also left for Chelsea and Gabriel Jesus for Arsenal. Manchester City started the season with a 1:3 Super Bowl loss to Liverpool. However, in the Premier League, the citizens have not yet yielded to anyone, allowing only Newcastle (3:3) and Aston Villa (1:1) to take points from them in the last round. At the same time, the Sky Blues are still second in the table and only one point behind Arsenal, but there are a lot of competitors at the minimum distance from the bottom.
