Can Sevilla maintain their good start to the season and challenge for the La Liga title? Guillem Balague and Graham Hunter discuss

Can Sevilla maintain their good start to the season and challenge for the title? Guillem Balague and Graham Hunter discuss on this week's Revista Bitesize.

The Europa League winners were temporarily top of La Liga on Sunday after their 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid.

Although they slipped down to second after Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao later in the day, it has still been a strong start to the campaign for Sevilla, who have won six of their nine league games.

Speaking after the win over Atletico, Jorge Sampaoli said: "The key for us is to build our own identity. We cannot play scared, so we must seek to dominate the game and think about our rival's goal.

"There will be missteps along the way, but we must keep working hard."

How much credit does new head coach Sampaoli deserve? And how much of it is down to sporting director Monchi?
