I'm a real madrid fan but in my opinion what happened last season that made us win the la liga was that we were very lucky. barcelona was too weak, they were falling so much that even i thought they would be relegated, atletico madrid was also too weak, it didn't even look like the same atletico that managed to have good results, the other teams were also a disaster , all these conditions led us to win the la liga and we also managed to get lucky in the champions league. but next season barcelana will be strong and can win la liga so we need to be strong next season

I don't think so, I think Real Madrid deserve to win La Liga because of their efforts in every game. If Real Madrid won the La Liga title because they were lucky because the other teams were in a weak condition, they certainly couldn't get the UCL title. In fact, after La Liga even the UCL they can win. But I agree with you that next season will probably be a tough one for Real Madrid, because big teams like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will improve. I am a fan of Atletico Madrid and I hope they can win at least one title next season.

Actually, I cannot blame them because they have to get better players if they want to win. So, it is okay for them to at least try to negotiate, and probably they will be able to get a good player which will be affordable.
But right now they are going for the players who have 50 or 60 million price tag on them. And I really don't believe that is the optimal way for Barcelona to manage money right now. If Barcelona thinks that they will be able to get instant success, I am going to say they are wrong and it will take time.
I also have some questions about Barcelona's transfer campaign, but we will still believe that sensible people who know what they are doing are at the head of the club now. In any case, financial fair play is a deterrent and should to a certain extent sober the club's management. The club has certain reserves for improving the financial situation, such as selling players and reducing their wages. Barcelona cannot cut costs too sharply without sacrificing its competitiveness, and therefore attempts with potentially high-profile transfers, as in the case of Lewandowski, are not surprising. The club does not want to lose a few years by a sharp financial recovery, but good tournament results are needed for this. Well, let's see if it can be done with the least losses.

Real Madrid is not only fighting for the title, the luck factor is also on Real Madrid side, because Atletico Madrid and Barcelona played far below the standard (without excluding Sevilla). Other teams are not without fighting for the title, due to their lack of consistency in every game, they are far behind Real Madrid. Barcelona is very active in the transfer market, after receiving an injection of funds from the sale of Licensing and Merchandising shares, they were able to buy several players to strengthen the squad in the new season. In the following season, Real Madrid will face obstacles from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to win the La Liga title.
I wouldn't say this as luck but their strategy in managing finances and players is very good which keeps them going.
This season, Barcelona was destroyed due to their wrong playing pattern in the hands of Koeman and the crisis they experienced due to the mismanagement of the Josep Maria Bartolomeu era who was not very good at managing finances.
On the other hand for Atletico they failed in the game and their tactics were too monotonous and the storm of injuries up front at the start of the season made them slump until the end.
Rather than saying it was luck for Madrid I would rather say that they are a club with good financial preparation and treatment of the players that made them where they are today.

I think it's quite difficult for Barcelona. They do need a pretty tough defender right now and they haven't fixed the problem with Pique at the moment but €60m for Kounde is a pretty high price for them.
Sevilla will not issue Kunde at a discount now especially he is a young player who is quite good at guarding the back line. I think it will be difficult for Barcelona with the financial condition and the number of players they want.
I am reading quite frequently that Barcelona is having financial problem but on other hand they are investing big amounts very drastically for strengthening their squad for next season and challenge of Real Madrid which is currently La Liga and Champions League titleholders.

For Kounde €60m and for Lewandowski €50m are very high amounts, but they are trying their best for achieving their targets before end of this summer transfer window because they already faced some big problems in last season and still able to end on high note with now going through for better results in this coming season. With the arrival of Kounde and Lewandowski, surely their problems are going to fix, and they are going to have ideal result for next season.
They still have a big problem with that and we all know that it won't work out well if they force both of them to play next season at Barcelona.
Some time ago they earned around 600 million from the sale of shares and broadcasting rights but this was not enough to cover their crisis and now will again spend around 100 million more for both players I think this is too difficult for them even though they really want to improve team performance but they don't have to make another death in their crisis.

Sevilla centre-back Jules Kunde is a target for the Blaugrana squad to strengthen their defence, but Barcelona are finding it difficult to meet Sevilla's €60 million price tag for them to let go of this player. Once again they are hampered by their financial problems which are still struggling with it. This is the umpteenth time they have had trouble getting players due to financial factors.
I'm very funny seeing the current barcelona situation at now Grin ​​,they don't seem to realize that right now they are short of money but keep trying to buy players who have a high price tag, their failure to recruit Lewandowski should be a lesson for Barcelona to stop wasting time just to chase star players, with bad financial situation of course Jules Kunde will only be a dream for barcelona, ​​because I think sevilla are aware if Jules Kunde also being targeted by other teams and making them certainly not willing to reduce the price of one of  their best players, apart from barcelona, ​​chelsea is also very interested in Jules Kounde and chelsea which has more stable and stronger finances of course has a greater chance of getting Jules Kunde than barcelona.

Combination of old and new players will always equal good performance and that can be seen with Real Madrid when the club signed new players before the start of last season and those new players play with old and experienced players like Benzema to succeed last season.

Even though Real Madrid is still the best in Laliga, so I'm sure that little by little Barcelona will again become the toughest competitor for Real Madrid. It was only a matter of time before Barcelona finally came out of bad financial trouble.
If you look at the La Liga table in the last season, Barcelona finished in 2nd place. It means Barcelona is still the toughest competitor in La Liga. No doubt that Barcelona is always one of the strongest teams in La Liga, Real Madrid cannot underestimate them. Although Barcelona can't get many new players in this transfer window and they are still in a financial problem, doesn't mean Real Madrid will easily defeat them in the next season. We know Xavi is the coach and Barcelona current squad is quite good. They actually can compete for the title in the next season. If they can perform at their best consistently, they must have the chance to win the La Liga title in the next season.

Maybe as @marcous said, their luck also helped Real Madrid win the league championship this much easily. However I don't think that its affect was too much. I think in this way and the reason is that Real Madrid were still showing a very satisfying level of performance during the whole season. Of course there were some games that they struggled in but this didn't prevent them from destroying so many of their opponents by playing in a solid way. I'm saying this because I believe Real Madrid would still reach the championship even if the remaining big teams like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid also had a much better season. This shouldn't mislead people about another thing like I'm thinking the same for next season. I just said this for the previous one taking Real Madrid's effort into account.
Luck is indeed a supporting factor, but in fact the strategy and quality of players are the main factors that make Real Madrid win the title. While in previous seasons many Laliga teams lost to competition due to poor form, it is clear that Real Madrid went further than most of these teams and lead the table with a very safe points gap.

But Xavi's return to Barcelona as coach has made Ancelotti a little worried about what other possibilities Barcelona could do next season. How not, Ancelotti will not forget his team lost 4-0 at home in the El Clasico party.

What happened to Marcelo at Real Madrid happens to Dani Alves, only out of heart they will not admit these players, they are players who still have a lot to give, but the mentality of these teams that are "big" prefer to let them go and not offer them a contract if they don't prefer young players who are famous and trending at the moment, I think that is a vision that these teams have, I would appeal to hire them even so that they help advise young players, because the experience they they've had can't be put aside, and in games that are very important and difficult you need to have the mentality of these experienced players.

That's true, despite the talent and fitness of these young players it is also important to have experienced players around too to help advice the young ones and also offer coaching tips and can also come in to play in difficult games that experience is needed. Someone like Marcelo looks still fit and has energy to continue for a season or two  but won't get that opportunity because you have to sign trending and famous players

I don't think Real Madrid have been very lucky in the competition. They were the more than deserved winner and were the most consistent of all parties throughout the season. This was of course mainly due to the cancellation of Barcelona at the beginning of the season. Madrid was lucky in the CL, but in the competition they were simply by far the best and, above all, the most stable.

Barcelona has been a competitor to Real Madrid and other top teams since last season. Although the Barcelona squad was not promising enough, Xavi managed to change the form of his team's game play much better even though he only relied on free transfer and loan players such as Aubameyang, Traure and Alves. Of course if Xavi managed to bring the competition last season then next season he will most likely get better competition especially if Barcelona have new energy from the players they signed.

Even though Real Madrid is still the best in Laliga, so I'm sure that little by little Barcelona will again become the toughest competitor for Real Madrid. It was only a matter of time before Barcelona finally came out of bad financial trouble.

Barcelona is going to improve. I think the improvement started since when Xavi came as the coach of Barcelona. I don't think they will be able to improve so much that they might give Real Madrid a really good fight. I think they will be able to at least finish in the second position in la Liga. But if Barcelona are able to get Robert Lewandowski in the team I think they will have a good chance of having better performance and that that point I will probably also consider them a tougher opponent for Real Madrid.

Chelsea has been in direct contact with Sevila and Kounde's agents since the previous transfer failure last season, when Kounde skipped training for after his release clause was increased last minute in an attempt to keep him at the club.

Personal terms were agreed upon with Chelsea a few weeks ago, and it's only a matter of time before Chelsea submit an official bid for him. He wants to join Chelsea, and the Barcelona deal is just a rumor because they don't have the financial capability to pay such a high fee for a player right now, as they're still struggling to register Andre Christiansen. Let's see how the drama plays out.
Chelsea will definitely get him, but at what cost? I mean I do not get why people think that it would be a lot more logical to get Kounde like this, and he does worth a good chunk of money according to transfermarkt, and there are teams that willing to pay for him, but I believe he is just too young to worth this much, he hasn't proven himself in a big club so far to justify that much money.

Usually when you pay someone over 50 million, you want to see them do good things on a club that is at a high level. It is not just about Barcelona not being able to afford it, they shouldn't have been able to afford Torres neither but they somehow got him, it is about Kounde being overvalued.

So, I actually don't think it is going to be much of a competition between them and Real Madrid. I hope that it will not be as one-sided as it was the last season. That I am not going to be surprised if it is. It doesn't look like Barcelona is going to be able to get Robert Lewandowski.
I agree with you. Only Real Madrid fought for the title last season. Sevilla, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona were far behind than Real Madrid. But next season will not be like that. Barcelona is increasing their strength. Although Barcelona is not financially stable now, they are spending enough money to strengthen the team.

Real Madrid is always unstoppable in the race for the BBVA league title in every season where they are very difficult to beat in the domestic league title race but for next season I am sure that the rivals Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will provide tough competition for real Madrid because we know this season then Barcelona experienced a financial crisis that was so extraordinary that it made them lose in the title race as well as Atletico Madrid who performed less consistently so that they were unable to provide an effective resistance to their city team Real Madrid

I thought that only Chelsea were after signing Sevilla defender Kounde. Barcelona also seem interested to sign him now however they aren't very eager to pay the asking fee like 60 million euros. Barcelona aren't financially stable as we all know and they don't have an option to spend a lot of money now. They are targeting a few players these days and they want to finish these deals or at least some of them for as low price as possible. Considering that I think Barcelona will fail in signing Kounde and Chelsea will stay one step ahead of them.
I think it's quite difficult for Barcelona. They do need a pretty tough defender right now and they haven't fixed the problem with Pique at the moment but €60m for Kounde is a pretty high price for them.
Sevilla will not issue Kunde at a discount now especially he is a young player who is quite good at guarding the back line. I think it will be difficult for Barcelona with the financial condition and the number of players they want.

Memphis Depay's condition in the team must be still not very clear. He was rumoured to be sold in the summer but he is still keeping his presence in the team now. I think that it depends on whether Barcelona sign a centre-forward before the transfer window finishes up. Lewandowski might be Barcelona's only target for the position now but I'm saying this according to the news have come out until now. They must be hopeful about this transfer as he is still willing to leave the team. I wish they sign Lewandowski and then they would try to increase some funds again by selling Depay. He joined the team on a free transfer before so it would be profitable for Barcelona.

Memphis Depay is not in any kind of certainty about what is going to happen with him in this team. Right now Barcelona is obviously going to look for profits. I really don't think that selling Memphis Depay is going to be too much of a problem for Barcelona. Right now it might be different because Barcelona did not get Robert Lewandowski yet. If Robert Lewandowski is in Barcelona I think it is really easy for them to sell Memphis Depay.

After they get an injection of funds, of course, this club will not feel shaky anymore, they will definitely continue to aggressively improve before and add some opportunities to their team to recover as soon as before.
