Area 77

The new season of La Liga begins on August 30th and already many are making predictions on who will win the league title. It is mostly between Real Madrid and Barcelona. One will be defending a treble and one will be trying to achieve it.

This season, Real Madrid is back with a new class of Galacticos consisting of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Xabi Alonso and Karim Benzema. New chairman, Florentino Perez, has promised the club’s fans a season of success. Barcelona, on the other hand, have been mostly modest in their new signings so far, with only Zlatan Ibrahimovic being their only new super star. The former Inter frontman will have the big shoes of Samuel Eto’o to fill and the same goes to Samuel Eto’o who have the similar challenge of filling Ibra’s.

Valencia, Sevilla and Villareal seem to be ignored when predictions are made but their talented players must not be cast aside for they will be fighting fierce battles against the Galacticos, the Blaugrana and each other for the valuable places in the Champions and Europa Leagues.

It will be interesting and exciting to see how Real Madrid will compete with the beautiful and almost perfect football of Barcelona. The major topic of the season will no doubt be the legendary rivalry of these two historic giants.
