Xavi Hernandez did managed the lads to successfully win in his second season and I'm certain he will do same this season that I can't wait to see happening. Also with the recent in's for Barcelona, they can go ahead to challenge for the Champions League this season.
For Barcelona, in the preliminary phase of the UCL Group, it may still be quite promising, but after that, of course, it doesn't guarantee that you can freely struggle with tough opponents. Meanwhile, in La Liga this season, Barcelona has no serious competitors other than Madrid, so there are not too many tasks and only focus on how to surpass what Madrid has achieved.
Arsenal as a club has patiently relied don Mikel Arteta, This has got to be his third season with the club, if he doesn't gets to win the Premier League, then his stay with the club will be put in doubt, he has to win a big trophy for further backing by the club.
I think Arsenal are still not completely ahead of the Premier League as of now. Even though the start of the season was said to be quite good, it's just that Arsenal tradition is always like that and nothing changes when facing the end of the season, it will always slip by itself.
Sevilla have got enough luck else if not for the International games, it would be another game to lose. Thanks to the international duties week for them to prepare for Las Pamas. Having lose all three earlier fixtures in the Spanish League they should be at home training hard to get their first ever league win in this season.
They can boast of a good defense as they newly introduced Five times Champions League winner Sergio Ramos to the squad to improve them defense.
Do you think that with the arrival of Sergio Ramos to Sevilla it will be easy to carry a big burden and make it easy? just because Sergio Ramos has contributed to winning the Champions League five times does not mean that all of this success is because of Ramos. So that doesn't make Sevilla optimistic because Ramos at Sevilla doesn't have the same partners as what he achieved with Madrid.
