Sevilla is living one of their most difficult moments in recent years. The start of 2022-2023 La Liga has been terrible for Julen Lopetegui’s squad with just one point after four games. Last weekend, Sevilla suffered a major blowout at home with a 3-0 loss against Barcelona. Furthermore, the Spanish team lost important players this summer such as Jules Koundé (Barcelona) and Lucas Ocampos (Ajax).
On the other side, Manchester City have no margin of error in 2022-2023 Champions League. Win the trophy or massive failure is Pep Guardiola’s scenario after he got the missing piece to finally achieve success in Europe with the Citizens: superstar striker Erling Haaland. No more excuses for this team as the biggest favorite to win it all this season.
