Can Barcelona defend its title this season?
Yes, we are witnessing the hard struggle of the La Liga champions. Barcelona could only win all 3 points against home team Osasuna thanks to a penalty. I wonder how they can play poorly when they have a perfect squad in every position. But no matter what, Xavi and his team won 3 points to continue chasing their great rival Real Madrid on the La Liga rankings this season.
It is possible of course but it is obvious that it won't be as easy as in the previous season. I'm saying this at least depending on the current performances. Because Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have also made a great start to the new season. I'm not confident about Atletico Madrid though as they haven't been in a title race for like two years if I'm not wrong.
However Real Madrid will be a big threat for the league title this time. They seem much more different than the previous season. Right now they are suffering some important injuries but still continuing to win their games. Bellingham is playing a big role in this streak.
