Chinanews client, Beijing, September 12 (Zhang Yifan) On the evening of the 12th, Beijing time, the new season of La Liga will reignite the war.
After experiencing ups and downs in the city, Messi finally stayed in La Liga.
But the signs of La Liga's decline seem to be difficult to change because of Messi's stay.
"Western Super Three", no longer
Real Madrid has maintained a complete victory record since the rematch of the epidemic and eventually won the league championship last season.
But they had little action in the transfer window, only the return of loan players including Erdgau, Reggie, Lunin and Ceballos.
After the team lost to Manchester City in the Champions League, the overall strength did not improve significantly.
Barcelona led most of the season, and as a result, an epidemic broke the team's rhythm.
After the epidemic came back, Real Madrid's performance was stable, but Barcelona dropped the chain from time to time. In the end, the team was reversed by Real Madrid and lost the championship.
In the next few years, Barcelona will enter the reconstruction phase with a high probability, and it will be difficult to regain the league title from Real Madrid.
In the early morning of July 17th, Beijing time, Real Madrid defeated their opponent Villarreal 2:1 at home in La Liga and won the La Liga title one round ahead of schedule.
How long this pain will last depends on the success of reformers such as Coman.
Last season lost the league title and suffered the collapse of the Champions League, which also made the Barcelona management painfully determined to make changes.
But the unchanging style of play and the aging main lineup are all factors that limit their progress.
After the departure of a generation of core players such as Godin and Griezman, Atletico gradually lost the ability to compete for the championship and acted more as a spoiler.
Since Real Madrid completed three consecutive championships, the La Liga team has never made it to the Champions League final. The decline of the top three in the Western Super League has not been overnight.
It seems that the era when the Western Super League three dominate Europe is over.
With the re-emergence of veteran giants such as Liverpool and Bayern, and the growth of challengers such as Paris and Manchester City, the next few years may not belong to the era of La Liga.
The picture shows Messi dribbling the ball.
What are the pros and cons of retaining Messi?
After Barcelona's fiasco, Bartomeu recruited Koman to coach, who started the rebuilding of the team, and Suarez and other veteran players became victims of the reform knife.
Under various factors, Messi is determined to leave the team.
The club management made no concessions, biting on the 700 million euro liquidated damages.
In balance, Messi stayed in La Liga.
There is no doubt that Messi, as the top player of this era, still maintains a good competitive state.
Barcelona, where he will sit next season, is still one of the strong teams in Europe.
But is it really a good thing for Messi to "strongly stay" in La Liga?
From the Barcelona team, their striker has been too bloated.
Messi, Griezman and Suarez will continue to serve as the main players if there is no accident, which also squeezes the playing time of rising stars Fati and others.
Bartomeu is unwilling to bear the charge of letting Messi go, and will also restrict Coman's actions to a certain extent.
On the evening of August 14th, local time, Bayern Munich beat Barcelona 8-2. Such a disparate score also created the worst record for Barcelona in the history of the Champions League.

The whole world knows that Messi will leave next season with a high probability. At that time, he will not leave any transfer fees. It also means that it is difficult for Barcelona to introduce a big-name star with sufficient weight.
The ratings and commercial value lost by Messi's departure cannot be compensated, and La Liga will face the situation this summer.
This time there is a one-year buffer period, can they think of a countermeasure?
Under the epidemic, there may be variables
The situation of the epidemic in Spain remains to be seen. Many La Liga teams have also announced one after another that there are people in the first team who have tested positive for the new crown, including Real Sociedad, Real Betis, Villarreal, Osasuna and Cadiz et al.
Before this, Barcelona and Real Madrid had also been infected.
Although most of them have recovered now, this means that there are hidden dangers.
On the evening of August 14, Beijing time, Barcelona officially announced that French defender Umtiti tested positive for the new crown virus.
According to La Liga's epidemic prevention regulations, once a positive person appears, other members of the team will also be tested.
After the start of La Liga, if a player tests positive, the team's training plan will be affected, and the teams that have played against each other have to be tested.
If there are several asymptomatic infections in La Liga, the schedule of the relevant teams will be seriously affected.
If the big clubs have sufficient personnel to support their reserves throughout the season, it may be difficult for a relatively weak team to persist.
If the health problems of the players in the team cannot be guaranteed, coupled with the intrusion of injuries, they have to face the situation of recruiting players from the youth team.
This is not a problem facing La Liga alone.
For example, due to many main players infected with the new crown, Paris Saint-Germain has already lost the first round of the league.
The European football in the new season is destined to be turbulent.
