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.
It will never change indeed unless Atletico Madrid get their sh*t together. I'll wait a little longer before making any bets on La Liga.
It will go on to be a title rivalry between only these two teams, Barcelona and Real Madrid...Barcelona are bookmakers' favourite for the La Liga title this season. But by a slight gap... After seeing how consistent Xabi Alonso's team is, we would have a better idea. For now I'm also one of those people who are expecting a back-to-back for Barcelona.
The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona will remain fierce this season, although the betting odds slightly favor Barcelona. In fact, I think it's evident in the last two matches that Barcelona's strength has increased. While Real Madrid's changes haven't shown any signs of improvement, I believe anything is possible over the long course of the season.
