La Liga kicks off on Friday with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid leading the list of title contenders. Defending champions Barcelona will look to retain their crown, while both Madrid clubs aim to reclaim the trophy and pave the way for an exiting season ahead.
The build-up has been eventful, with Barcelona facing ongoing financial hurdles over player registrations. That being said, the Blaugrana will look to assert their dominance yet again through a young and electric side. The attacking line of Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha has further been bolstered by the arrival of Marcus Rashford from Manchester United on loan. Marc-Andre ter Stegen is out with a long-term injury, enabling the registration of Joan Garcia.
