DBasia.news – FC Barcelona stumbled in the first three LaLiga matches in 2019-20. The defending champion is currently in the order of eight standings.
The top four positions in the standings themselves are occupied by clubs like Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla and Levante until the third week. While Atletico Madrid firmly on top with perfect results.
This situation can illustrate how tight the competition is in LaLiga this season.
1. Barcelona
Even though the season did not start smoothly with just winning four points from the first three matches, Barcelona is still a strong candidate for champions.
At the beginning of the season, minor notes could not be separated from the absence of stars like Luis Suarez and of course Lionel Messi. With the addition of Antoine Griezmann, Barca is still the main strength of LaLiga.
2. Atletico Madrid
The perfect start for Atletico Madrid. Although worrying about the departure of several stars like Antoine Griezmann and Diego Godin.
But Atletico is quite a bit of shopping in the transfer market. One of them is by bringing Joao Felix at a high price. Up to three matches, Atletico does not seem to lose money to pay Felix dearly.
3. Real Madrid
It’s hard to see other teams besides Barcelona, Atletico, and Real Madrid in the LaLiga championship race. Madrid, which was re-handled by Zinedine Zidane, has bought six players at the start of the summer transfer window.
Eden Hazard’s presence was a special highlight because he was a player who was relied on to be a differentiator. Madrid also increases power banged by bringing in a goal machine, Luka Jovic.
4. Sevilla
Valencia, Getafe, Sevilla, Espanyol, Real Betis, Real Sociedad, and Athletic Club Bilbao, will both compete to win the Champions League or Europa League zone.
From these teams, Sevilla should be wary of Julen Lopetegui, Sevilla coach has been spoiled by Monchi, Director of Sevilla Sports, who gave him 13 new players such as Lucas Ocampos, Luuk de Jong, Oliver Torres, Sergio Reguilon, Rony Lopes, and Jules Kounde.
5. Valencia
The club nicknamed Los Che entered the Champions League zone last season. But, ahead of the rolling season, Valencia was plagued by internal conflicts.
Even so, Valencia must be considered. Moreover, they have strengthened the squad by bringing in new employees such as Jasper Cillessen, Eliaquim Mangala, and Maxi Gomez.
