Me looking forward. We took home Super Cup so already have one nice item. We are leading in La Liga but thats not a given at all, so I want to see us go far in Champions League. Not easy when you have minimum 3 very good teams (Bayern, Arsenal, PSG). As long as we meet one of them early its fine for me.
It is not a given obviously, but I think it is highly likely that Barcelona will take this one down, too. Sure they could go through some struggles at some point, but Real Madrid is not the team this season that can seriously threaten them. They changed the coach now, but I think they have a certain imbalance within their team and two huge egos, Vinicius Jr. and Mbappe.
Barcelona has
five players in the top 11 of the scorer list. Yamal, Torres, Lewandowski, Raphinha and Rashford. All of those players, some more some less, are team players in and out. Lewandowski works defensively, Yamal switches into midfield positions, Raphinha is frequently at their on box defending.
Real Madrid has two players who hate to run back and help. I think that is one of their biggest weaknesses this season. They used to have Modric and Kroos who both compensated for that because they were as good defensively as they were offensively. My guess is Barcelona will take this one down easily.
Thanks @buwaytress, time to make up for some points slowly but surely. Still no penalty though, that could pay off eventually!
