Javier Tebas (La Liga president) says: "I would like to see Cristiano Ronaldo in La Liga again. Whether it is feasible or not for Atletico Madrid, I do not know. There would have to be some player departures if they wanted to [sign him]. To sign a player of that level, you must make room [financially]." Even though Atletico Madrid fans have to forgotten the rivalry with Real and Cristiano Ronaldo being their linchpin. I still say that it'd be highly unlikely that Ronaldo joins Atletico but it seems everyone but the ATM fans want Ronaldo back in Madrid.
The source says that Barcelona are getting close to finishing the signings of Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso both now. On the other hand this deal doesn't seem too much likely to me. I'm thinking like this considering the rumours that Chelsea won't sell any of these players. Because Barcelona have signed Kounde while they were also after him. I'll give them that because it must be really annoying to just watch the same team stealing your target players one by one.
Barcelona going to be a lavish club which is very busy buying many players for this session, they were spent about 103 Million euros to buy many players. I just remember where they have a financial problem a time ago, is the problem resolved? I don't know where they got a lot of money because when I look at the team, they don't have many players to put in the market that have sold out. 
Why so pessimistic? It's just training, nothing serious. Did you also believe in Barcelona that was "reborn"? And other clubs have even less opportunities compared to Real Madrid.
I think it is normal to feel worried about Real Madrid performance lately. Sure, it is a friendly match only, but Real Madrid performance is very far from our expectations. They even can't win against Club America, why do they perform so badly? Even other top clubs also got bad results, Real Madrid should perform better since they are the winner of UCL, which means the strongest club in the world. Barcelona is clearly showing a better performance although we don't know if they deserve to call "reborn" or not. However, if Real Madrid can improve their performance, their players may decrease in their mentality (winning spirit).
There was still a lot of heat on the match between this two in their el clasico . A derby is a derby there will always be heat between big rivals. Also i think this season will be really intresting in laliga for the title. Barcelona never looked better in last 10 years
El Clasico will be always a tight match with high tension. It was normal if there was drama during the match. Each team wants to show up how strong they are. Since Barcelona seems stronger, Real Madrid gives them a big pressure.This is how a football be in this world actually.
Both Real Madrid and Barcelona of course become the most interesting and strongest club so far in La Liga. However this season, Barcelona has got very great transfers for several great players. So, this may be not as easy as the previous season.

El Clasico will be always a tight match with high tension. It was normal if there was drama during the match. Each team wants to show up how strong they are. Since Barcelona seems stronger, Real Madrid gives them a big pressure. Barcelona against them with confidence because they feel they are better now. With this high-tension atmosphere, sometimes there are players who can't control emotion. So, it is very possible to see a player fighting each other, or arguing during the match. It is not really surprising, it is something usual happening in El Clasico. 
That's why El Clasico is so entertaining and much awaited by La Liga fans, because neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona will compete to prove to be
the best. As you have explained, sometimes the tension in the match is very high and can provoke the emotions of players. Actually, it's not only
the emotions of the players that are provoked, but we as viewers can feel our emotions fluctuate when watching El Clasico. For now I admit that
Barcelona is slightly superior to Real Madrid, because Barcelona managed to bring in quite a lot of new players and proved to help Barcelona's
performance increase. This can be seen in several friendly matches Barcelona played very well. Maybe Xavi just needs to find a more effective strategy
to allow Barcelona players to bring out their best.
The big budget makes it easy for Xavi to bring in the players he wants. At least Barcelona have spent 153 million euros to bring in three-star players this season, Lewandowski, Kounde and Raphinha. Meanwhile, Christensen and Kessie were brought in on a free transfer. Xavi's success in boosting Barcelona's performance last season made club officials very confident with Xavi's performance, now Barcelona has opened a new story in the transfer window, with the quality of the players they have, Barcelona is able to rival the strength of Real Madrid.
Note: Barcelona have reached an agreement over the transfer of Kounde, now awaiting medical tests.
The "big budget" is a big fake and not reality. They haven't even paid salaries of certain players to strong-arm them on leaving. So, all they are doing right now is the fact that they are running away from responsibility and nothing more. They will have to face the harsh reality that they do not have any money left, and it will come sooner than later. This is why I hate financial part of football but it is the biggest part of it for sure.Note: Barcelona have reached an agreement over the transfer of Kounde, now awaiting medical tests.
If you are a huge club and you spend 150 million while having a huge debt, nobody stops you from doing it, if my favorite club wanted to spend 150 million they didn't have, everyone would have been laughing at them right now.
The friendly between Barcelona and Juventus was quite an incredible game. It's been a while I watch these tough friendly and I must comment that I really felt the impact of the game. It's was all about the best team,which is better? We have so many goals attempts on Xavi's side but unfortunately his squad failed to record a win after the game. All credits goes to both barça player and the Old Lady's player. Dembele and Kean, they both scored a brace in the game. Later on, Raphinha with the stunning free kick that hits the wood work and Ansu Fati taking advantage to neiled the ball that stills hits the wood work, consider it has hardluck for the catalans side.
A lot of persons have given kudos to Dembele and highlighting some players, but my did you guys see what Pjanic did in the 2nd half was brutal, seriously, if only he played like that he would always be the top 3 best MC in the world. Those touches in first, the passes to the back assisting Depay, the solutions against pressure from Juventus, was incredible. The only thing that worries me is that he was one of the players who already had one foot out, and of the clearer sales, but being objective if he plays like this all season, he deserves to be at Barca, and we have nothing to reproach him for. The club needs players like he did in the game.

It was still nice to watch an unofficial El Clasico of course. I'm looking forward to watching Real Madrid and Barcelona especially in this season. I hope to see a big competition between these teams for the league championship. Barcelona have improved their game and squad both a lot. They should be able to challenge hard for being the champions.

Maybe it won't work out well if Messi goes back to Barcelona. Lewandovski is one of the best attackers they could get right now. Maybe a bit older, but he is guaranteed to score a lot of goals for Barcelona. He will play an important role. Last year there were a lot of games where the game was locked for Barcelona, with a player like him you can force things. They do have a strong vanguard now. Still too many attackers really? You also have Dembele and Aubemayang and Ansuh Fati for example. I'm curious how Xavi wants to put it all down. It seems reassuring that Frenkie de Jong will not leave the club.
Messi served his time in Barcelona, dropped a lot in performance once he left La Liga, at some point he is considered as a normal player, just his name and the money generated from that kept him useful for PSG. The way he played most of the game would place him in the benches earlier but he is Messi after all.I suppose if he continues like that, no way Barcelona will get him back and he will retire in USA. If he gets back his unusual performance and Lewandowski didn't impress then he might get a ticket to return there.

For the progress of Barcelona which has a new era and future, there is no need to expect Messi to return or be bought just because his contract at PSG expires next year. If we look at Barcelona growing ideally when he left, even without Messi Barcelona can still stand tall and give something extraordinary but at the beginning it didn't go well. What I hear is Barcelona's finances don't come from one direction only, when they are in debt under the pretext of cutting player salaries here we can see that Barcelona's finances are actually not as bad as we hear.
This is so true because if their situation was that bad,and they don't have any finance atall,they won't be able to sign the players that they've signed so far,in the person's of Rafinha and Lewandowski,now Kounde has followed them.It is now known that their situation is not bad atall. And secondly,they've been able to survive without Messi in the team,so there is no need wanting the player to come back,because Xavi has already arranged his team the way he wants it. 
Maybe Barcelona are having a great transfer window now but they really have spent incredible amount of money already. They still don't want to make do with these transfers and they are going for Jules Kounde also. Maybe it is like a dream for Barcelona but it is time to wake up from it. Otherwise their finance is going to get even more terrible until the end of the season. They don't make long-term plans now as it seems. Because the total salary load is increasing on one hand also.
It seems that Xavi's achievements last season made the management confident next season. The management gave a large enough budget to buy new players in a not so good financial state. I was actually quite surprised, Barcelona's move was beyond my expectations. In addition, Barcelona is very active in hunting down players and surpassing Real Madrid. In addition in the trials in the Pre-Season tournament Barca won 1-0. This is a warning to Madrid, They are not active in the transfer market this time.Note: Barcelona have reached an agreement over the transfer of Kounde, now awaiting medical tests.
Juve build a solid team and it is expected to see them fighting for the scudetto and advancing to the finals of CL.
For Dembele, it is important for him and for Barca to maintain his performance and avoid injuries since it is his main weakness.
For Barca's defence, players need some time to play together and to find their harmony which is the point of these friendlies.
Realized enough in this regard that Xavi is very serious about bringing Kunde to Camp Nou because in this case they are not very good there and indeed there needs to be regeneration from the Barcelona defense which until now is old.For Dembele, it is important for him and for Barca to maintain his performance and avoid injuries since it is his main weakness.
For Barca's defence, players need some time to play together and to find their harmony which is the point of these friendlies.
As for when they say Juventus they are more intent on midfield but still they are still not solid in defense there.
There was a rumour about Marc-Andre Ter Stegen future in Barcelona that if De Jong stayed then Ter Stegen possibly will be sell and impossible to registered all of the current players because of Financial Fair Play rules so the option is Barcelona have to release the player who have high salary so Ter Stegen might be the player who leave this summer especially in the last few seasons he had decline performance period and reported Barcelona will looking for the replacement of him and Barcelona have several candidated for goalkeeper position such as Alban Lafont from Nantes and Maarten Vandevoordt from Genk FC
Of course barcelona had to release some of their players to be able to register him this season. I don't think Marc-André ter Stegen is one to sell, but it's still possible about some other players like Mingueza, De Jong, Riqui Puig, Sergi Roberto, Depay or Martin Braithwaite.But it's always possible to let Ter Stegen go this season especially because barcelona have 2 other young goalkeepers like Inaki Pena and Arnau Tenas. Neto is also not used very often because Ter Stegen has been a mainstay almost every season in Laliga, Champions League or other competitions so there is an option to release one of them if needed.

What I hear is Barcelona's finances don't come from one direction only, when they are in debt under the pretext of cutting player salaries here we can see that Barcelona's finances are actually not as bad as we hear.
Indeed Barcelona have made progress in the season now that many players have been brought in, Jules Koundé has also now been signed by Barcelona from Sevilla just to undergo a medical.This means that defence, midfielders and attackers have been well managed by Xavi with sufficient funds because they can afford to buy even though it is expensive, so well not as bad as we are with Barcelona's finances but the ambition to return to a new era with Xavi without Messi will make even more real.
real madrid friendlies:
Real madrid 0 - 1 barcelona
we lost once again to barcelona, honestly this is annoying
Real Madrid 2 - 2 Club America
once again we couldn't win, it seems to me that this season we won't win la liga, something tells me it will be a season of headaches

By the way, what do you think about the odds with which the bookmakers offer to bet on the Real Madrid Championship (currently 2.15)? In my opinion, this is easy money.
