Real Madrid have certainly looked attractive in the transfer window, and now they have Xabi Alonso to look forward to in the season. However, even so, it still does not guarantee that Real Madrid will simply become champions again, because even though Barcelona didn't bring in many new players, but on the one hand, it made them more solid because their squad didn't undergo many changes, so the chemistry between the players became stronger.
Barcelona still have the best squad in the Laliga now despite all the signings Real Madrid made in the transfer market. I can’t also count Real Madrid out of the race because they also have quality and world class players like Mbappe and Vini Junior, but their midfield and defense are not solid, they can’t win league with such weak defense and lack of creativity in their midfield.
For Alonso to enjoy his job at Real Madrid, the team need to sign good players that will benefit the team not average players or finished players from other teams: therefore, I am not expecting anything special this season.
I think Real Madrid management doesn't feel the need to bring in any new players for this season. The team management is relying on the regular players. Apart from Vinícius and Mbappé, no other forwards are in good form. The recent performances of García, Endrick and Rodrygo in the team are not that impressive. Among the players who are available for the midfield, Bellingham tries to contribute significantly to the team but I think he needs to perform more. It is widely discussed that Real Madrid
's defensive weaknesses are more than any other team.
Barcelona
's performance compared to Real currently seems reliable to me because they are trying to identify the problems of the team and solve them and in the meantime they are trying to improve the performance of the players. Barça will be able to perform better than other teams this season.
