The White and Reds have made some eye-catching additions to the team this summer.
Sevilla have gone through a huge transition this summer after securing their worst finish in the LaLiga 2023-24 season. The White and Reds finished in the 14th spot marking their worst campaign since 2000, when they were relegated. This poor form led to Garcia Pimienta being appointed as the head coach for the new season.
Pimienta began his tenure as a Sevilla boss with a 2-2 draw against Las Palmas on the opening weekend of the new LaLiga season. The team looks strong on the paper this season after making some high-profile signings to bolster the squad. They have signed Saul Niguez, Kelechi Iheanacho and Lucien Agoume to help guide the team to a top-four finish this season.
Villarreal made an encouraging start to the new season after playing a four-goal thriller against Atletico Madrid on the opening weekend. The Yellow Submarine played a 2-2 draw to start the new season against their rivals. However, they could have won the game after creating several chances.
The Yellow Submarines have developed a reputation for being one of the best attacking sides in the division. It was evident in their first game of the season as they took the lead twice against Diego Simeone’s side. The team have done well to replace the likes of Filip Jorgensen and Alexander Sorloth with Luiz Junior and Ayoze Perez for the new season.

Players to Watch
Saul Niguez (Sevilla)
Once compared among the best midfielders on the planet, Saul Niguez has endured tough times during the last couple of seasons. However, he now has a brilliant chance to make the most of this opportunity after signing for the club this summer from Atletico Madrid. Saul Niguez can be the difference maker for the team this season as he can create chances. He can even help the team defensively by shielding the back four through his timely challenges and interceptions.
Gerard Moreno (Villarreal)
Gerard Moreno has been one of the consistent performers for the Yellow Submarines over the years. Ever since signing for the club in 2018 from Espanyol, Moreno has appeared 227 times scoring 98 goals. Last season, he scored 11 goals and made eight assists.
Moreno has a fantastic left foot. He can score goals from anywhere inside the box and doesn’t miss many chances when presented. With Alexander Sorloth leaving the club, all the responsibilities are on him to get the goals for the team this LaLiga season.
