Visca, I s'pouse
Not much time here si I'll be brief, also knowing that when it comes to la liga - which I still like to call Primera Division - less is more from my side.
1 Barcelona. They actually look stronger than last year. So hard to go another way.
2 Real Madrid. Which makes Real number two.
3 Sevilla. Think they can benefit from not playing in Europe, building on a strong team with a good coach.
4 Valencia. Did Mata's departure kill Valencia's prospects? Maybe not, they have lived through player departures before.
5 Bilbao. Keeps on challenging. A stable team that now needs to focus also on Europa League.
6 Malaga. Exciting transfer market. But can take sometime before Malaga is a stable top team.
7 Villareal. Not sure they can do well in both CL and the league. But I have underestimated them before.
8 Atletico. Impressed in the Europa League qualifyer but still looks that this could be quite a horrid season. I will stop there.
9 Sporting Gijon
10 Mallorca
11 Espanyol
12 Betis
13 Getafe
14 Racing Santander
15 Real Sociedad
16 Osasuna
17 Real Zaragoza
18 Grenada
19 Levante
20 Rayo Vallecano

La Liga. A tale of two teams or. Apart from Barcelona and Real Madrid, La Liga is difficult to predict. The two best teams in the world will no doubt make for some entertaining football where a draw is a loss and a loss is a disaster. Here's my prediction for the top ten:
ReplyDelete1. Barcelona. Stronger than last year. With Fabregas they can rest Xavi and/or Iniesta for the less important games. The only "weak" spot seems to be the central defense which will be sensitive to injuries.
2. RM. Better than last year, but still not good enough. Looking forward to see Benzema and Higuain.
3. Valencia. The loss of Mata will be felt, but I think they will manage and still be the best of the rest.
4. Atletico - I always overestimate Atletico and will do so this year as well. Forlan will probably leave and Kun will be dearly missed. Hopefully, Falcao will be a good replacement and with a good start to the season, Atletico will challenge for the fourth spot.
5. Villareal
6. Sevilla.
7. Malaga
8. Mallorca
9. Bilbao
10. Espanyol
