There's no doubting the potentials of Xavi Hernandez's Barcelona and how outstanding they can be against against their opponents in not just domestic matches but also in European scene.
But I think Real Madrid will be careful and calculative than they were last season. Madrid would definitely work on those factors that made them to lose the Spanish La Liga title to Barcelona last season and the fact they have added more few quality players in the squad gives them an edge over the La Liga rivals
The men of Xavi Hernandez are well-prepared for the upcoming season's challenges. I expect nothing less than their dominant performances from the previous season, although this time, the blaugrana are coming for everything, although I can say the same about Los Blancos. Real Madrid consistently goes for the most important championships since they have more experience in elite competitions than their opponents. Carlo Ancelotti is not relenting in his efforts to address the critical issues that led to the club's failure to win memorable trophies last season, but with the prior signings the club has made, they're ready for business.
