The situation
LaLiga starts from which Mbappé was erased for staying at PSG for petrodollars. To which Lewandowski , Rüdiger , Tchouameni , Rapinha and Nahuel Molina have wanted to point . In which Isco has stayed and to which Cristiano aspires to return. In which Bernardo Silva could sign up to play and in which the favorite to be the new Ballon d’Or (Benzema) leads. A League in which the current champion of Spain and the Champions League is. A Real Madrid that defends the crown and has just been proclaimed European Super Champion. With Barcelona converted into the king of the transfer market, with an Atlético that seems to arrive covered and a Sevilla that is still expected to hit the table with some arrival. A League is back in which Mbappé is not, but which aims to be one of the most exciting in recent years. The kick-off to the season will be given tonight at 21:00 with Osasuna-Sevilla. It will be an atypical season, as it will be interrupted for more than a month by the World Cup in Qatar (from November 20 to December 18). Which will lead to tightening the calendar and ending LaLiga later than usual (June 4). During that time, Real Madrid will defend its throne and try to retain the title, something that hasn’t happened since the 2007-08 season. Ancelotti hardly has any new faces and maintains the skeleton of last season. The whites have only signed Tchouameni (the most expensive signing in LaLiga for now) and Rüdiger (free transfer) for €80M. Of course, with several casualties (Bale, Isco, Marcelo and Jovic).To try to stop Real Madrid, Laporta has used the famous economic levers. Some financial juggling to enter money in exchange for selling several of his assets over the next 25 years. That has been the path chosen by Barcelona to stand up to Madrid after a bad season . He has taken out the checkbook (with 153 million it is the LaLiga team that has invested the most) and has signed Lewandowski, Koundé, Raphinha, Kessié and Christensen. But the azulgrana do not have enough and hope to announce Marcos Alonso and Bernardo Silva before the market closes. Now it is necessary for LaLiga to allow them, with all those levers, to register them if they adjust to economic control.
The details
On the other hand, Simeone wants to redeem himself from the bad feelings that the team gave last season and arrives with the news of Nahuel Molina and Witsel; in addition to the return of Morata, who has shone during the preseason, and Saúl. Atlético, having not generated so much noise with their signings this summer, arrives covered in the fight for LaLiga . But it is a team that aspires to titles, which is why Cristiano wanted to wear the rojiblanco, despite his Real Madrid past. Sevilla, for its part, has suffered two significant casualties: its two central defenders (Diego Carlos and Koundé) have said goodbye; instead, it has been reinforced with Isco (Lopetegui will try to recover the best version of him), Marcão and Telles.
