Fresh from winning the historic double of La Liga and Champions League, Real Madrid made the biggest splash on the transfer market this summer with the signing of Kylian Mbappé. The French superstar joins a team that has already set an impressive benchmark for success.
However, the release of midfield heavyweight Toni Kroos after ten years and star defender Nacho to Saudi Arabia could mark the end of a great era for the Royals and pave the way for a new beginning.
While Barcelona are experiencing an unbalanced transfer window in the summer and Atlético Madrid are rebuilding their squad, Carlo Ancelotti’s team appear to be the dominant force for the new season.
They will begin their campaign on Sunday 18 August with an away game at Mallorca.
The sports news looks at this week’s most important fixtures and explains how you can follow the games.
