MADRID (Reuters) - Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde says Spain's Liga title race remains wide open despite his side's imperious start to the season.

Their 2-1 victory over Sevilla on Saturday means they have taken 31 points from a possible 33 available this season, only failing to win when they drew 1-1 away to Atletico Madrid last month.
