Thriller: Barça and Madrid

We can talk about the fact that Madrid has a worn staff or that it defends badly. We can talk about the fact that Barça plays at a low pace or that it has lived more on the market. But the analysis can also be simpler. In recent years, both teams have played many games like this weekend. With defects. Risking to lose. And yet, most have ended up winning them, some even by a win. Barça had Leo Messi and Madrid with Cristiano Ronaldo , who have covered many shortcomings for a decade. The difference is that one will return soon and the other will not.

Approved: Seville

The first three days have been almost an extension of the summer preparation. For many, the season will begin after the break, with the transfer market closed. Monchi and Lopetegui have completely changed the face of Sevilla, building a solid block. Which perhaps lacked completion because Luuk de Jong does not seem to fit and Munas Dabbur does not count. Today Chicharito Hernández arrives to round out the project. A veteran striker but who knows the area well: fast and intuitive. Without injuries, a great signing.

Notable: Athletic

Another one that goes to the stop of selections full of hope is the Bilbao fan. Since the arrival of Gaizka Garitano , the historical hallmarks of Athletic have been recovered: claw, delivery, high pace and San Mamés become a fort. Seen the numbers of 2019 it does not seem a utopia to think that they can fight even for the fourth place at the end of the course.

Outstanding: Athletic

The Atleti faced a difficult summer, having to replace referents both in the field and in the locker room. In the lineup against Eibar there were five new faces. And the game was complicated as it rarely happens. But at that time the great virtues of this group emerged in recent years: commitment, intensity and faith. Change of skin, but not of essence. To top it off, Diego Simeone got Thomas Partey for Joao Felix and the Ghanaian gave him the victory at the last minute. Full happiness in the Metropolitan.
