## Resource

Welcome to the new season! We are back and better than ever for another LaLiga campaign, the best league in the World (yes, we are biased). Join Matt Clark (@MattClark_08) and Román De Arquer (@Aeroslavee) for the full lowdown on the season ahead. We begin with the raft of new additions at Real Madrid, including a certain Portuguese manager back in from the cold for another crack at the big time, plus a new defence, a renewed Vini Jr, and the small matter of their most expensive acquisition of all time! Barcelona have been a little quieter, but have added pace and tenacity in the forward lines, but thus far no big replacement for Robert Lewandowski. What impact will the Julián Alvarez saga have on him, and both the affected clubs? Can Hansi Flick's side retain the title again, or will Los Blancos wrestle it off them? Will Atleti challenge? How will Villarreal do under new management? Who else might be the surprise package? Who looks to be in trouble? What about the promoted teams? Who are the new faces on the scene? All these questions and more are answered inside an hour!
