#4 Sevilla might be the most exciting team in La Liga

Mark your calendars and keep yourselves free when Sevilla play

The week’s most exciting game was undoubtedly Sevilla’s ridiculous 6-4 victory over Espanyol. Unai Emery might have left Seville, but they seem to have found an able replacement in former Chile manager Jorge Sampaoli.

Pragmatism and caution are not words which are used too often by Sampaoli. The Argentine showed his commitment to attacking football when in his very first conference as Sevilla manager he said:

"I am tremendously passionate about attacking. We'll be an extremely attacking team that allows us to control and seek our objectives and not wait for them to find us."

There was no doubt about the intent as Sampaoli’s side kept pressing forward consistently. With Vietto, Vasquez, Wissam Ben Yedder, Ganso and Kiyatake, Sevilla have a squad more than capable of blowing away the best defences. The only worrying part is thier defence is also capable of getting blown away by any attack.

Watching Sevilla’s matches promises to be amazing fun this season.
