The historic rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona certainly won't change this season; it always has been and always will be. Real Madrid doesn't seem to have improved compared to last year, perhaps just time to stabilize? I hope they can show us their numbers in a couple of weeks; they have a promising squad, but they seem a bit lacking in energy yet.
I'll wait a little longer before making any bets on La Liga.
Yes, Real Madrid is much less performing than Barcelona, but it must be said that there could also be a change in progress, they could surprise us, football is like that, it's strange and what you expect never happens, it's as beautiful as it is unpredictable.
