So, now we know last team that will join La Liga in upcoming season - it's Mallorca. They won against Deportivo in the final of playoffs. They lost 1st leg game 0:2, but then Mallorca made great comeback by winning 3:0 at home. Year ago they played only in Segunda B (third division) and now they returns to La Liga for the first time since 2012/13 season.

I was in fond of Deportivo and I wanted them to see in the La Liga next season.
it would be great to see this historical team joining the biggest Spanish category again. I am not sure if they could make an outstanding season but at east it would be nice to see them playing with their amazing home and the atmosphere that their fans do.

^ It could be an improvement to Barca's squad but have you seen the players and which ones Real plans to get? Real is really going for broke imho. I'm willing to bet (with decent odds and vs somebody trusted) that Real is gonna win La Liga this season.

Anybody wanna bet?

Mallorca is coming back to a very difficult league, and I hope they buy some good players to keep up with league standards. While Real Madrid is making headlines for all the players they have brought, I feel Barcelona intends to cause a huge upset by bringing back Neymar. There’re rumours that Barcelona have offered player plus cash to PSG who’ll find it incredibly difficult to turn this offer down, so what do you’ll think will Neymar return to Barcelona.

Real Madrid recruited Hazard in this season and also Luca Jovic, I think the race for Spanish league champions will be interesting next season and also everyone will look forward to the first El Classico for Eden Hazard as a Real Madrid player.

In other news, Real Madrid have leapfrogged Manchester United to become the top most club by 'enterprise value' according to KPMG

"The report, based on the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons, studied profitability, broadcasting rights, popularity, sporting potential and stadium value.
Champions League finalists Liverpool and Spurs are in seventh and ninth places in the rankings."

Top 10 European clubs by 'enterprise value'

1. Real Madrid - €3.224bn
2. Manchester United - €3.207bn
3. Bayern Munich - €2.696bn
4. Barcelona - €2.676bn
5. Manchester City - €2.460bn
6. Chelsea - €2.227bn
7. Liverpool - €2.095bn
8. Arsenal - €2.008bn
9. Tottenham - €1.697bn
10. Juventus - €1.548bn

I guess the champions league effect really helped Real Madrid during that period to make more profits among other things.

Despite that Barca president supported Valverde after loss in final of Copa, it looks that he will be sacked. Roberto Martinez, manager of Belgium, most likely will replace him. For me it looks like a great choice.
And there is big match fixing scandal in La Liga and Segunda division. Several players and president of Huesca has been arrested, you can read more about it here:

If you look at matches in Segunda, probably you will notice some strange things there. But there's some games from top division is also under investigation, for example Valladolid - Valencia.

It seems like Barcelona doesn't want this title, Lol. Because if we look at the statistics of course Barcelona is superior in everything but the match is over and Barcelona only has one La Liga title this season after being knocked out of CL and losing in the Copa Del Rey final.

I thought barcelona would of atleast tired to win in this match and the only one who put any effort into it was messi with a goal at the 78 minute mark but it was too late at this point and could not put any pressure on the other team to win.
Sad time for barcelona and a long summer to think about what to do about the coaching staff.

Barcelona can't afford to be mentally depressed. The players are getting paid multiple tens of millions. In fact Barcelona is the most expensive football club right now.

Any team can lose a game. They need to get their shit together and focus on the future games. Otherwise things will only get worse and not just for the team but for the players as well. Nobody would want to pay $50-100m for a player who'll get depressed after a lost game.

That's definitely not an excuse their exit from the UCL is more than weeks ago before this game right ? That should have been the more reason why they should have won it instead.

They got eliminated by As Roma last season just 11 days before the Copa Del Rey final and still were able to win the game by 5 goals.

Too me, it's more like they players want Valverde to get sacked Angry

Looks like I'm not the only one who couldn't even bring myself to look on the bright side with Barca. You know, we were stronger a few seasons ago when we LOOKED weaker. And then when we lost our Super Front 3 I thought that was really it too, Messi and Suarez growing older and Real would smack us, but we somehow survived and did so well.

But this is really it. This really, really is it. How do we bottle it so badly can only be explained by a manager with bad tactics and players who need to go. I have no words most days now. This is a bad season, we can thank god our rivals in La Liga played so badly.

As LTU says, from treble to trouble.

I don't care what Messi or Whatever any other player said, Valverde should get sacked literally! He's the worse coach Barcelona has hired in a long time, Martino waa probably even a better coach. It's funny how Barcelona season which was supposed to be a huge success all turned out to be a failure within a few weeks. Winning the league is definitely not an achievement as a far Barcelona is concerned, they've dominated it for about a decade now. Copa Del Rey has been another trophy Barcelona had won consecutively for the last four seasons.

Valverde is not tactical by any means he keeps making a one sided substitution, he sucks at player management or player rotation.

When I saw that Roberto is playing as forward, I started to worry that something will go wrong. First half was something awful. In second half Barca started to play something what they supposed to do, but it was too late - you have to play your best footbal from the first minute in the final. And on the last minutes Barca players looked extremely tired and weren't able to create something dangerous. Well, we were close from winning treble, but at the end we only got trouble...
@tomahawk9, I'm afraid that Valverde won't be sacked, even after this failure, but I hope that I'm wrong with my prediction.

And Valencia, top 4 in the league and league cup champions...One of the big teams in Spain is recovering its glory.

Yeah, it's been a great season for Valencia and now they can celebrate centenary season of this club.

So, Barcelona lost...Valverde should be sacked, right? I mean, regardless of what Messi or Pique said yesterday (they backed Valverde), no manager can hope to keep his job after a historic and embarrassing defeat in the Champions League and then losing the league cup final in such a pathetic way, outclassed in every aspect of the game tonight, Barca's 2nd half was more hard work and effort by the players than tactics and gameplan from the coach.

Btw, why does Valverde keep playing Barcelona's worst player this season (Coutinho)?

And Valencia, top 4 in the league and league cup champions...One of the big teams in Spain is recovering its glory.

That Messi goal wasn't enough for Barcelona. Valencia won the Copa del Rey-title 2-1 against FC Barcelona.
Most of the Barcelona team look like they were ready for a summer vacation, but Messi seems to be ready for Copa America.

Drama in the Copa Del Rey final with Valencia deservedly leading Barcelona by 2 goals to nil, Barcelona will have to back from 2 goals down in the space of 45 minutes if they wish to retain the Copa Del Rey crown!

Barcelona looks very tired and only Messi is trying to save the match. the rest of Barcelona players are just hoping Messi can do something.

And of course he delivers! Messi has just pulled one goal back it's 2 - 1.

There is about 17 minutes plus stoppage time left, can Barcelona get another goal to level the game.
