Since when did Xabi Alonso change his name to Xavi Alonso? 😁
What Real Madrid has done this season by recruiting a new coach and players doesn't guarantee better results. If you believe that Real Madrid didn't win a title last season and will win one this season, that seems like a baseless statement.
Just look at how Real Madrid's squad is filled with star players, yet they failed to win a title last season.
I don't think this is unfounded, but if we look at the history of trophy wins from season to season, they always alternate. If last season failed to win a trophy, usually the next season will. I think this kind of thinking is understandable, especially since Real Madrid isn't a team that's slumped and struggles to recover; they're a team that bounces back quickly. Furthermore, the arrival of many new players, even with a new coach, proves Real Madrid's seriousness in winning trophies this season.
So, there's no guarantee that Real Madrid will win the title this season, as it all depends on the coach and luck, as to whether players suffer injuries again like last season.
The strongest candidate for me is still Barcelona 😋
Similarly, with Barcelona, there's no guarantee that Barcelona will win trophies. We never know what will happen in the future, whether players get injured or something else. So, for me, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the strongest candidates to win trophies this season because both teams have equally strong squads to achieve that goal. Yes, luck is also a significant factor. But what's clear is that this season's La Liga will be more competitive, and I can't wait for their first El Clasico of the season.
