Action involving the likes of Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid is available to British football fans
The 2021/22 La Liga season is set to be fascinating. Powerhouses Barcelona and Real Madrid are in severe financial turmoil. The Catalan giants signed Sergio Aguero and Memphis Depay early in the summer and looked to be strengthening in a big way, only to find out they aren't able to register those players due to the league's financial regulations. Those rules have subsequently led to the exit of arguably the world's best player Lionel Messi to PSG. They still can't register their new signings. They have so many high paid players to get off the books if they want to do so. Real Madrid brought in David Alaba from Bayern Munich but have let go of their talismanic captain Sergio Ramos, who has also moved to PSG.
Neither of the big boys look like they can make any more signings and desperately need to sell players which will further weaken their squads. Current champions Atletico Madrid on the other hand enter the season relatively calm. They would have expected a big reaction from their rivals but Diego Simeone's men will now be eyeing up the very real possibility of back-to-back titles. They've already signed the highly rated Rodrigo de Paul from Udinese for €30m and could add more firepower to their already stellar group. Real Madrid and Barcelona can never be counted out but it will be very interesting to see how they can catch Atletico with the serious issues they are both facing.

To the surprise of many, Ronald Koeman has kept his place at the Camp Nou and will be charged with the task of continuing the development of the exciting young players he brought through last season. The most notable of those fresh faces was Pedri who had a fantastic season and a great summer playing at Euro 2020 and the Tokyo Olympics. Real Madrid parted ways with Zinedine Zidane for a second time and have once again looked to the past for answers, bringing in Carlo Ancelotti from Everton. With a lack of activity in the market, a president who is still embarrassingly convinced of the need for a European Super League and an ageing coach from a more glorious past, things aren't looking too great at the Bernabeu. In contrast, Diego Simeone remains an ever present at the Wanda Metropolitano which only adds to the sense of calm and structure they have there.
What is normally a boring two horse race should be at least a battle between three clubs or maybe the likes of Julien Lopetegui's Sevilla could even cause a shock. It will be fascinating to see how the next few weeks of the transfer window unfold and how the league season itself plays out with excitement expected both on and off the pitch.
So settle down with a nice glass of sangria, perhaps a generous serving of paella and enjoy what should be an unpredictable season in the Spanish top flight featuring some of the most technically gifted players on the planet.
