Drama in store as Spanish giants set for a fall

WITH Seville bouncing back to the top by beating Barcelona, La Liga seems more and more like an exhilarating flamenco, the dancers gyrating faster and faster, the steps more dazzling at each turn, with no one sure who will come to the front next time, let alone when the dance comes to an end.

Valencia and Seville have produced some brilliant attacking football — ‘outsiders’ they may be but they are both quite capable of winning the title — but part of the spectacle is down to Barcelona’s inability to win away, and Madrid’s catastrophic home form.

The two giants could easily fall in the Champions League this week, which would make next week’s clash at Nou Camp even more of a defining game for both clubs.
