Barcelona: A young core, full of spirit
Defending champions Barcelona come into the season with a blend of youth and experience, though they continue to wrestle with financial issues that have complicated player registrations. Despite those hurdles, the Catalan club managed to bring in Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford on loan, boosting an already potent attack that includes Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and veteran Robert Lewandowski.
Goalkeeper Marc-Andrรฉ ter Stegen is out with a long-term injury, opening the door for new signing Joan Garcia to step in. Barcelona will open their title defence against Mallorca on August 16.
Real Madrid: New era under Xabi Alonso
Across Spainโs capital, Real Madrid enter a new era with club legend Xabi Alonso at the helm. With a formidable lineup featuring Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius Jr., the club has also added Liverpoolโs Trent Alexander-Arnold to reinforce its right flank. Young defender Dean Huijsen joined the club as well, while Luka Modric left for AC Milan. Real Madrid kick off their season on August 19 against Osasuna and are viewed as strong contenders to dethrone Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid: A revamped attack
Atletico Madrid have also made a statement in the transfer market, bringing in ten new players, including Alex Baena, Thiago Almada, and Giacomo Raspadori. Manager Diego Simeone will be keen to mount a stronger title charge this year, banking on fresh energy and attacking depth to challenge their more decorated rivals.
