I know Real Madrid have galaxy of stars in their team still i feel it's not Balanced.I think instead of buying 2 forwards they need to buy world class defenders because that was their weak point for last 2 years.And u can also see them performing well whe al 3 raul,Ronaldo and Owen were in the Line up.So mustwair and see how they preogress.
barcelona seems to be in much better shape than last year esp. with the return of likes of edmilson and gabri in defence.with the likes of eto,o and larsson up front it would certainly prove to be runaway leaders of la liga.I think you are overestimating real inspite of the fact they seem to flounder quite regulary
Though in bad shape all of last season, I am confident that Urrieta and his men are looking to make up last year's mistakes and do some serious damage this year.
