Jorge Sampaoli took over the reigns from Unai Emery and has made an already strong side even tougher to beat this season. This was the first game that Sevilla lost at home and Sampaoli's high pressing, possession-loving team is producing the desired results until now. They are just six points behind Real, and this just might be the season that a team can challenge the might of the two powerhouses of world football and Atletico Madrid.

If Leicester City can achieve the impossible, Sevilla are a far safer bet than the Foxes. The likes of Diego Simeone and Luis Enrique have already described Sevilla as title contenders, and this side might challenge for a spot at the top of the table this season.
