Considering the history of the legendary Spanish Primera, it is quite easy to establish that it will either be Los Blancos or La Blaugrana to take home the Liga BBVA title in the upcoming season. Bettor.com analyzes which squad has more of a chance
of overcoming the odds.
The Iberian Peninsula is divided among a number of remarkable and competitive football clubs. All of these clubs have great histories to their name, a fact which makes the Spanish Primera Division one of the best domestic leagues in the world.
However, it is important to note that Spanish football has always had only two powerhouses assert their supremacy over it. The league has been always been a tale of two cities, with Real Madrid boasting the highest number of triumphs followed by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604,
who have the second highest collection of La Liga trophies.
As the new season is soon to begin, football audiences all over the world wonder which of the two teams will lift the silverware this year.
The recently passed season certainly had a number of surprises to offer as football fans were treated to some surprising highs and lows.
The most significant of these surprises was the fact that Barca’s dominance over Spanish football was finally brought to an end. Widely considered to be one of the strongest sides in the world, the Catalans were heavy favourites to extend their hegemony
over one more season.
The Nou Camp outfit had completely and undisputedly reigned supreme over the Spanish La Liga in the previous 3 seasons, however, Jose Mourinho’s men did just enough to break their rule over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
Under the management of Pep Guardiola, the Azulgrana were considered almost invincible. In the time span of three years, they managed to win 14 trophies. This is certainly a feat which is hardly achieved by many football clubs, and experts argued whether
Guardiola’s team was the strongest ever assembled.
With two UEFA Champions League trophies and three consecutive Spanish La Liga titles, one can easily understand why the Catalan giants were tipped as heavy favourites to win these trophies once again.
However, things turned out differently as Barca were dethroned from their stay at the top of the Spanish Primera by their fiercest rivals. In addition to this, they were also eliminated from the Champions League from tournament underdogs, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
The English Premier League side were believed to be too weak to actually put up a fight against the reigning champions of Europe. Nevertheless, it was the Blues who knocked the Catalans out of the coveted championship.
These results surely showed that Barca are not invincible and that anything can happen in football.
Even the man who is believed to the best player on the planet, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, could not aid his side in claiming the silverware in the domestic league or in Europe.
On the other hand, Mourinho forged a squad which was proving more and more destructive over the course time. His Madridista were establishing their own supremacy over Spain, along with securing the highest number of points ever secured in the history of
the competition. In addition to this record, they also scored the most goals in one season, breaking yet another record.
As the new season draws near, the two sides experienced their own separate pre-season tours which also give a clue about the current form the two sides are in.
