Real Madrid or Barcelona? Ronaldo or Messi? It will be the usual questions asked in the Liga this season, unsurprisingly. With Mourinho notoriously getting as firmer grip on his team and eventual success in the second season this one is primed to be a more competitive season than the last.

 

Copa not enough

The only time where Mourinho had the better of Guardiola last year was in the Copa del Rey. Both the Champions League and the Liga titles went to the Blaugrana after seeing off the challenge from the Blancos. Expectations are higher this term and Mourinho will need to get his team to gel faster if he is going to produce results. Titles are won against the smaller sides though and if at least he can get his team to be consistent in those seemingly unimportant matches than perhaps he may walk away with the title even if his players do not prove team enough to beat Barcelona over the two Liga clashes.

 

Valencia in third again?

A significant question in la Liga is about which team will manage to finish third. That has developed as a title on its own in Spain and it has almost always been Valencia that proved the third force in the league. Sevilla and Villareal have not done much to reinforce their ranks whilst Atletico Madrid may have face lingering problems as they get to grips with the face lift the team has undergone this summer.

Just like Atletico, which sold off Aguero, Levante also gave away their priced asset Caicedo but built a strong side via the money they cashed in. Able to rely on experience as well they may be a surprise this season.

Bielsa’s Athletic Bilbao will need a few matches to be judged as the manager does come along with a significant change in mentality. In Spain, his attacking philosophy should fit in much better than in other European leagues though. Malaga are the nouveaux riche in the league and money can help them buy their way at the top. Perhaps not to Champions League football this season, given their overreliance on Santi Cazorla, but close enough.

 

Newcomers

Rayo Vallecano and Granada are candidates for going back down where they came from. Betis, winners of the Segunda Division last season, have better chances. Zaragoza are prime candidates for replacing them as they face heavy financial debts that seem impossible to overcome in a short enough time. However, just like happened with Deportivo last year, there may be big names making their way in Segunda and the likes of Mallorca, Getafe and Espanyol should be wary of such dangers. They are definitely stronger than most though and it will take some huge distractions on their part to slide down so low in the table.
