The Spanish League has lost its significance, quality and attractiveness in a short time due to the departure of top football stars such as Ronaldo, Neymar and Messi whose marketing value is enormous.
On the other hand, the league's revenues from TV and marketing rights will surely fall due to these reasons.
Real and especially Barcelona are already feeling the effects of a drop in league revenues.
Barcelona have come into a situation where they can't pay and keep Messi.
That's what Real and Barcelona insisted on so much on a super league to replace the Champions League.
If the situation does not change soon, and the league's revenues continue to fall, Real and Barcelona are likely to be forced to think about changing the league in which they play.
In football emotions and fans play not a big role but exclusively money.

How? I mean how do you move from La Liga to EPL? One of them is a Spanish league and one of them is English league, how do you move your team from one nation to another nation? This is Real "Madrid", what are they going to do, make everyone move from UK to Spain for every game? Or have 20 games they move to UK? That's not going to happen, not just because of cost but the discomfort of moving there all the time doesn't really make any sense at all.

I personally would say that the best we could do probably would be just have a super league by UEFA themselves. I get that teams wanted to build one, and with huge names running a whole league with like 18 teams or even 20-22 teams that would make more money than any other league in the world eventually, maybe not right away but eventually they may end up doing that, who wouldn't want to watch a league like that? But, UEFA didn't allow teams, so maybe they should do it themselves?

3-0 that's a done deal. I think Barcelona will still compete for the championship this season. I doubt they are better than Real Madrid. I think it would go right. And at the moment Barcelona is pushing hard to make it 4-0.

I see that Real Madrid simply demolished Alaves with a 4-1 score. And I'm not surprised by Benzema's great performance. He scored 2 goals and had a big role on this huge win. Actually, I can't say that Alaves played terrible. But they couldn't benefit from the chances they got and it caused them to be crushed by Real Madrid.

Well yes. Real Madrid under Ancelotti guard will play well as they always did as last time we was with Real , he won UCL. Last night game prove that Bale is back on his form and I've read that he is training like never before in order to get back as close as possible to his best form.

Personally I had doubts on Barcelona game but they already have 3-0 and basically game over.

First Laliga season in many years Barcelona would be starting without Messi and this time isn't because of an injury, it's Life after Messi era, didn't think it would be this soon, but Barcelona are coping very well, after Real madrid had won yesterday, I think the pressure is on for Barcelona to win regardless of Messi now at paris, and it's been an exciting start, now the argument that Messi had been preventing players from shinning maybe inspected thus season.

Barcelona itself makes a fresh impression. I think the youngster is playing well again. messi will be missed, but it can also be liberating that the entire team no longer has to play for barcelona. And messi will feel less pressure at PSG among all those other stars. 1-0 so far.

Barcelona have started the game pretty well, dictating the play and not allowing Real Sociedad with chances to counter attack, pretty stuff so far.

Yes, Barcelona started well, Gerard Pique scored already at the 19th minutes assisted by Memphis Depay, which means Barcelona is leading already. I believe Barcelona will win this match, I did not doubt that before because Real Sociedad should not be a threat to Barcelona. Even if Barcelona still win this game, I am still doubting if the club will still perform strong like before this season.

I hope today Barcelona will play without Messi, I will like to now know their strength, but I think this season may not be good for the club, match most of the time do not favour them without Messi.

I think that in this season without Messi it's going to be though but Griezmann's needs to take the opportunity to prove his true potential with Barcelona, because he is the only team that can do Messi's country by going deep and moving freely on the field.
What Koeman will use this season, and an additional technical point that Griezmann adds, is the pressure and the ability to defend with the full-back, who is in the same direction.
A lot expectation from will be on him to be closer to fill in Messi more then Depay.

Barcelona have just taken the lead, with a goal from an unexpected source. Gerard Pique score an header after a ball from a set piece from Depay.

Atletico Madrid is now lead by 2-1 against Celta Vigo. I hope they win. And I bet on Atletico winning. Looks like I won't lose the bet. Angel Correa has scored two goals for Atletico Madrid. His performance in today's match is eye-catching. If Atletico wins today's match, it will only be for Correa's outstanding performance.

Atletico are leading 1 0 on the first half but it seems that celta vigo are a very solid team not much chances in the first half and we cant say that one team is controling the game it seems that anything can happen i do not think the score will remain the same in my opinion we will se another one

Celta Vigo has been a tough team and can be a barrier for strong teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, but one thing about Atletico Madrid is that if they scored a goal already, the match can end up 2 to zeor or 1 goal to nothing as they usually play. I have been thinking Madrid will win this game because they have a strong defence.

Atletico Madrid are now on the field to play against Ceta Vigo. But this is their main striker Luis Suarez in the squad. I think he was needed in the squad for the first match. Celta Vigo cannot be considered a very weak team. They play well enough. I think the result of the match will be a 1-1 draw.

Today will be the first appearance in the league without Messi, Ronald Koeman, under the pressure of finding a combination that includes offensive decisiveness, defensive solidity, harmony in performance, and the ability to snatch points when things get complicated, and all of that without Leo.
Barcelona begins today the title struggle in trouble this season, and it will be very a difficult road to win the title.
It seems that the atmosphere in the locker room is not great, and the Sociedad might take advantage of that. Although Real Sociedad hasn’t remained undefeated at Camp Nou since 1995, i don’t think they would lose this one by more than one goal difference so either 2-1 or 1-0 is my expectation for this match

Of the 4 La Liga matches last night only Real Madrid got 3 points and the others got 1 point that was something unexpected for me, maybe this will be a more difficult season. Considering, even though Madrid won big but the fact that the goal was only created in the second half at least it proves that they are not easy to make goals fast and can play disciplined in the first 45 minutes.

In the first half, Alaves showed a pretty strong game, and they had dangerous chances. After the goal, Alaves had to go ahead with all his might, and Real Madrid took advantage of this quite effectively. I liked the game of Bale, Azar and Alaba. I think if Bale and Azar do not have injuries during the season, they will be the leading players of the team.

It was clear the difference in the quality of the two teams in that match and we could see how madrid really dominated possession, while Alaves only played defensively and tried to take advantage of the counter-attack and Alaves' solid defense in the first half made the score ended in a 0-0 draw, but the second half made madrid played quite superior and was able to beat alaves with a score of 4-1, although madrid got its first win with a landslide score, but actually alaves is not real test for madrid in my opinion.

FC Barcelona open their La Liga season today against Real Sociedad. For the first time since 2003/04, they will not have Lionel Messi. But, migration to different clubs because a player is moving that's pathetic. I plan to watch the match. There is no player bigger than a club, so let's move on. Barcelona can improve with time, especially with the addition of Depay, Aguero, and youngsters like Pedri. Today will be a great match.

That should be a cracking match, I plan to watch it as well. Perfect opponent to show us how will the Barca look without Messi, good enough to make them give their best and at the same time not really a title contender. Mostly looking forward to see who will be in charge of all set plays now when the king is gone.

I am hoping Pedri got extended holidays, I believe he played more games then any other player in the past season, only ending it in Olympic games final recently. If he is already back in the club that could cost him the season later on due to injuries or fatigue, both physical or mental.

The Blaugrana are at a turning point having lost Lionel Messi, who went to PSG after his contract with the Catalans ended. The newcomers Aguero and Depay will have a huge weight on their shoulders for this reason.
Barcelona are coming from a season that needs soon to be forgotten. Koeman's team finished in third place, while in Champions League they went out in the round of 16 against PSG. The only consolation is the conquest of the Copa del Rey.
Today against Real Sociedad Barça should win but I wouldn't exclude a draw, the safest bet's Home or Draw.

Even as a Barca fan, I'm literally going to sit out placing any bet on Barcelona for the time being, I'd just watch and enjoy the team would adjust to life after Lionel Messi. Sociedad are always a tough nut for Barcelona, even Messi was here, it wouldn't get any easier today, I'd guess. A narrow win for Barcelona I'd say.

Sevilla ended last season with 77 points and at 4th position. They also won 24 out of the 38 matches they played. I have known them to be a good team. However, they will facing Rayo Vallecano in a home match today. Rayo Vallecano was relegated from La Liga in 2019, and currently got promoted back to La Liga. They really have to work hard in order to survive another season in La Liga. I think Sevilla will win the match, although, the match might also end in draw. But I don't think Vallecano will be able to beat Sevilla.

Sevilla to me seem like one of the best bet today, they're currently offered @ ~1.6, Sevilla are consistent against these smaller teams and I don't think today should any different, However, it's the first game of the season and each team might not yet to be up to full speed.
